1.

Regulation of respiration is a process that keeps pace with moment to moment changes in _______________ and ______________ production.

a)

nerve.....energy

b)

cellular oxygen.....carbon dioxide

c)

central.....nervous

d)

brain stem.....arteries

2.

The two ways to regulate respiration in the human body are through the _____________ control and ____________ control.

a)

oxygen.....chemical

b)

cerebral cortex

c)

central nervous.....chemical

3.

Where are Chemoreceptors located and what do they do?

a)

Keep pace with moment-to-moment changes in cellular oxygen requirements and carbon dioxide production.

b)

They are located in the brain stem and arteries. They are chemical sensors in the brain that identify changing levels of of oxygen and carbon dioxide

c)

Located in the lungs and allows you to breathe at slow and fast rates.

4.

The _______________ is voluntary and allows you to breathe deliberatly at a faster or slower pace.

a)

Regulation of Respiration

b)

Chemoreceptors

c)

Cerebral cortex

d)

Mechanoreceptors

5.

What is the definition of Regulation of Respiration

a)

Respond to position change and movement- increasing respiration as we move.

b)

A complex process that must keep pace with moment-to-moment changes in cellular oxygen requirements and carbon dioxide production.

c)

Sensory receptor cells located in the aortic arch and carotid arteries.

d)

Receives pain and emotion responses from the body and adjusts the respiratory pattern. (anxiety, exercise, etc.)

6.

What is Hypothamus?

a)

Located in the muscles and joints.

b)

Receives pain and emotion responses from the body and adjusts the respiratory pattern. (anxiety, exercise, etc.)

c)

Respond to position change and movement- increasing respiration as we move.

d)

Voluntary

7.

What are Mechanoreceptors?

Select ALL that apply

a)

Located in the muscles and joints.

b)

They prevent the overexpansion of the lungs.

c)

Respond to position change and movement- increasing respiration as we move.

d)

Receives pain and emotion responses from the body

8.

What are Stretch Receptors?

Select ALL that apply

a)

Located in the Lungs airways.(smooth muscles of bronchi and bronchioles.)

b)

They prevent the overexpansion of the lungs.

c)

9.

Peripheral Chemorceptors

Select ALL that apply

a)

Sensory receptor cells located in the aortic arch and carotid arteries.

b)

Carotid bodies: Carotid arteries that run through the neck and the brain.

c)

Located in the brain stem and arteries.

c)

Chemo treatment for Cancer

d)

Chemical sensors in the brain and blood vessels that identify changing levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide
