A type of hypoxia where there is low O2 content but normal PaO2, so oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is lower
Back
Card 17
Front
A type of hypoxia where there is insufficient blood flow to cells
Back
Card 18
Front
A type of hypoxia where cells are unable to utilise O2, e.g. cyanide, vitB deficiency
Back
Card 19
Front
The level of PaO2 below which alveolar ventilation increases rapidly
Back
Card 20
Front
The region where central chemoreceptors are found
Back
Card 21
Front
The ions which stimulate the central chemoreceptors which are produced when CO2 from the blood diffuses across the BBB into the CSF and combines with H2O via carbonic anhydrase

The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles are used in which process?
Back
Card 23
Front
The elastic recoil of the diaphragm, internal intercostals and obliques are involved in which process?
Back
Card 24
Front
The source of the generation of basic breathing rhythm
Back
Card 25
Front
This helps with the timing, smoothing and modulation of breathing rhythm
