Several pathophysiologic mechanisms operating simultaneously may lead to an increased ventilatory rate. These may include all of the following EXCEPT:
A) stimulation of central chemoreceptors.
B) decreased lung compliance-increased ventilatory rate relationship.
C) stimulation of J receptors.
D) pain.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Several pathophysiologic mechanisms operating simultaneously may lead to an increased ventilatory rate: stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors (hypoxemia), decreased lung compliance-increased ventilatory rate relationship, stimulation of J receptors, pain, anxiety, or fever.
