[HTML][HTML] Regulation of breathing and autonomic outflows by chemoreceptors
PG Guyenet - Comprehensive Physiology, 2014 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Lung ventilation fluctuates widely with behavior but arterial PCO 2 remains stable. Under
normal conditions, the chemoreflexes contribute to PaCO 2 stability by producing small …
