Document Summary
The primary stimulus for respiration at rest is declining blood oxygen levels. True the mucociliary escalator moves debris-laden mucous from larynx and trachea lasopharynx to be swallowed t or f: t the cilia are continually beating, pushing mucus up and out into the throat. True antibodies are very effective against pathogens which are hidden inside cells. False, antibodies are outside of cell the purpose of respiration is to maintain the po2, ph, and pco2 of body fluids within homeostatic limits. 1. true the majority of carbon dioxide is transported as a bicarbonate ion in the blood plasma: true- the medium sized bronchi (2-4 mm in diameter) are considered to level with highest resistance. True- this type of active immunity is said to be natural because the immunity is induced not by deliberate exposure (such as vaccination). Conversely, a decrease in carbon dioxide provokes an increase in ph, which results in hemoglobin picking up more oxygen.
