This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Ch22 LiberGoldberg Fernandez ChoiBell, CO2 if levels too high, stimulates Chemoreceptors, Tissue releases CO2 as waste product back into blood Plasma, Ventilation is the amount of gas that is exchanged by the Alveoli, Solubility of gases varies inversely with Temperature, Pleural Space and drawing air into respiratory system's Conducting zone, Norepinephrine dilates brochioles and increases Ventilation, Hemoglobin and is carried throughout the body in blood Plasma, pH if too low, stimulates Chemoreceptors, Diaphragm contracts, lowering pressure in Pleural Space, Alveoli receive inhaled air and allow O2, Hemoglobin flows through the Pulmonary Blood Vessels, Respiratory zone defined by the presence of thin-walled air sacs called Alveoli, CO2 leaves blood and enters alveoli along gradient of Partial Pressure, Pulmonary Blood Vessels and bind to heme group on Hemoglobin, Plasma where it undergoes internal respiration at body Tissue, Conducting zone warms, humidifies, filters, and directs inhaled air to the Respiratory zone, Pulmonary Blood Vessels which allows the diffusion of the waste product CO2, O2 to diffuse into the Pulmonary Blood Vessels, Plasma where 10% remains due to low Solubility, O2 diffuses across respiratory membrane along gradient of Partial Pressure
