This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: RESPIRATORY-Cornacchio, Tieniber, Coffey, Crowell and Gilligan, CO2 In the RBC is converted into HCO3, Chemoreceptors Sense levels of O2, O2 When in low levels in Alveoli, Medullary Respiratory Center Sends impulses to excite the Diaphragm, Plasma to decrease pH, Chemoreceptors Sends messages to the Medullary Respiratory Center, Medullary Respiratory Center Controls the rate of Ventilation, Diaphragm Expands or contracts to control Ventilation, O2 due to its low Solubility(in blood), Norepinephrine Which causes vasoconstriction of Pulmonary Blood Vessels, Solubility(in blood) carried in blood by Binding to the heme group of Hemoglobin, Hemoglobin to reach the Tissues, Respiratory Zone where gas exchange takes place, specifically in the Alveoli, HCO3 When formed releases H+ in the Plasma, Chemoreceptors Sense levels of pH, pH Causes Hemoglobin to release oxygen which flows into the tissues due to a gradient in Partial Pressure, Alveoli causes release of Norepinephrine, Diaphragm contraction decreases Pleural Space, Hemoglobin Affinity for and Saturation of O2 is increased with decreasing Temperature, Ventilation Responsible for getting air into and out of the Alveoli
