A member asked:
What to do if i have high bp) cause hypoventillation (i.e: why does stimuation of the arterial baroreceptors cause a decreased breathing rate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong: You have a different physiology text than mine! Hypoventilation with fall in pO2, rise in pCO2, and fall in pH - all stimulate arterial chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies to increase breathing rate. There is no effect on baroreceptors which respond to changes in BP.
