Question

A chemosensitive area found adjacent to the rhythm centre in the brain is highly sensitive to the increased concentration of (A) CO 2 (B) O 2 (C) H + (D) Both (a) and (c)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

A chemosensitive area is situated near the respiratory centre, medulla. It is highly sensitive to the change of CO 2 concentration or change in blood pH ( H +). Blood CO 2 concentration influences the pH by forming HCO 3-, within the RBCs using the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase.
