Negative feedback • Breathing is an involuntary function of the CNS ; specifically medulla oblongata • Rate is regulated by carbon dioxide • Major site medulla oblongata • Carbon dioxide indirectly controls breathing via changes in pH levels
O2 O2 O2 O2 CO2 CO2 CO2 CO2 Diffusion of gases • Concentration gradient & pressure drives movement of gases into & out of blood at both lungs & body tissue capillaries in lungs capillaries in muscle blood lungs blood body
Transporting gases • Oxygen carried by hemoglobin, protein in red blood cells • Each hemoglobin can bind four oxygen molecules
