Question

During exercise, neurons in contact with cerebrospinal fluid monitor pH and use this measure to control breathing. In this example, pH is altered by ____________ and the increase in breathing is an example of an ___________.

a) CO2 binding hemoglobin, Effector

b) H+ generated by Carbonic Anhydrase, Integrator

c) H+ generated by Carbonic Anhydrase, Effector

d) CO2 binding hemoglobin, Sensor

e) CO2 dissolved in the blood, Integrator

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option a ) CO2 binding hemoglobin, Effector

The lungs also helps to maintain the pH of blood fastly. During exercise, the rate and effort of breathing increases. This mechanism is done for maintaining the pH content in the blood. The carbon di oxide gets converted into bicarbonates and the hydrogen ions that is formed is buffered with hemoglobin. The oxygen is then dissociated. In the pulmonary capillaries, this process will gets reversed and reform the carbon di oxide. This carbon di oxide is then exhaled out.

Options b is not the right answer because the process mentioned here is not hydrogen generated carbonic anhydase.

Option c is not the right answer because this process is not carbonic anhydrous effector.

Options d and e are not the right answers because the process mentioned here is carbon di oxide hemoglobin effector process.
