Peripheral receptors stimulate the respiratory areas resulting in
A)increased respiratory rate.
B)decreased respiratory rate.
C)respiratory collapse.
D)passive exhalation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheral receptors can stimulate the respiratory areas in response to various stimuli such as an increase in carbon dioxide or a decrease in oxygen levels. This stimulation causes an increase in the respiratory rate as the body tries to compensate for the changes in the environment. Therefore, choice A (increased respiratory rate) is the best answer. Choice B (decreased respiratory rate) and choice D (passive exhalation) are incorrect as they do not align with the effect of peripheral receptor stimulation. Choice C (respiratory collapse) is extreme and unlikely in response to peripheral receptor stimulation.
