Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For a given increase in PaCO2 or hydrogen ion concentration, the carotid bodies are less respon-sive than the central chemoreceptors. The peripheral chemoreceptors account for only 20 to 30 of the ventilatory response to hypercapnia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
High arterial PO2 (hyperoxia) decreases the peripheral chemoreceptors' PCO2 sensitivity to al-most zero.
