Why are lungs not suitable for breathing water?
Air breathers are more sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide concentration than to changes in oxygen. Regulation of ventilation is normally driven by receptors that are sensitive to dissolved carbon dioxide levels and the acidity (pH) of the blood.

What are the receptors that detect changes in blood gas concentrations?
Chemoreceptors
Where are the receptors that sense changes in blood glucose?
the pancreas
Which receptor in sensitive to changes in pressure?
Baroreceptors are sensitive to changes in blood pressure. The carotid sinus in the neck is one place where blood pressure is monitored and can be changed.
Sensory receptors that respond to changes in blood pressure are called?
Baroreceptors
Which receptor is likely to detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration in the blood?
The receptors that are likely to detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration in the blood are chemoreceptors located in the aorta and carotid arteries. These chemoreceptors detect changes in the pH of the blood and send signals to the brain to regulate breathing heart rate and other bodily functions. The receptors are sensitive to the following: Carbon dioxide concentration Oxygen concentration pH of the bloodThe chemoreceptors are located in the walls of the aorta and carotid arteries and are sensitive to the changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations. When the concentrations of these two gases change the chemoreceptors send signals to the brain which then responds with appropriate adjustments in breathing rate and heart rate.
What is non nociceptors?
Nociceptors are pain receptors that are especially abundant in the upper skin, joint capsules, the periosteum of bone and the walls of blood vessels. Very few pain receptors are located in visceral deep tissue. The three types of pain receptors are those sensitive to temperature extremes, those sensitive to mechanical damage, and those sensitive to chemicals.
Is breathing contolled by changes in the chemistry of the blood which causes the medulla oblongata to react?
yes it is
What is a baroceptor?
A baroceptor is another term for a baroreceptor - a nerve ending which is sensitive to changes in blood pressure.
How does nerves control human body temperature?
The hypothalamus is responsible for some very important functions. One important function of the hypothalamus is the control of body temperature. The hypothalamus acts as a "thermostat" by sensing changes in body temperature and then sending signals to adjust the temperature. For example, if you are too hot, the hypothalamus detects this and then sends a signal to expand the capillaries in your skin. This causes blood to be cooled faster. The hypothalamus also controls the pituitary. The hypothalamus is composed of several different areas and is located at the base of the brain. Although it is the size of only a pea (about 1/300 of the total brain weight).
Where are the sensory receptors sensitive to changes in oxygen levels in the blood located?
The baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses, respond to changes and absolute levels of blood pressure. These nerves go to centers in the brain stem and trigger changes in heart rate and venous tone.
Can anyone help me with the rare blood type FC?
There are Fc receptors in blood, it mediates bindind and clearance of immune complexes. There are Fc receptors in blood, it mediates bindind and clearance of immune complexes. There are Fc receptors in blood, it mediates bindind and clearance of immune complexes. There are Fc receptors in blood, it mediates bindind and clearance of immune complexes.
