Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As the H+ ions in the CSF are generated in direct relation to the level of arterial PCO2, it is really the arterial PCO2 that (indirectly) controls primary minute-to-minute ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the PaO2 is low carotid body sensitivity to a given H+ increases; in this way hypoxemia increases ventilation for any given pH.
