Question 1 of 5
What is the role of the receptors associated with the aortic arch and carotid artery in respiratory regulation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Receptors associated with the aortic arch and carotid artery play a role in respiratory regulation by monitoring the levels of oxygen in the blood. These receptors, called peripheral chemoreceptors, can recognize changes in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ion concentrations. They send necessary signals to the rhythm center for remedial actions if there are deviations from the normal oxygen levels.
