Open-Loop Analysis of the Carbon Dioxide Receptor Reflex.

Abstract

This is the final report on a study of the biological control mechanism governing the regulation of CO2 concentration in the blood and the air of the lung. The chicken is used as a model since, unlike mammals, it can be unidirectionally ventilated and the CO2 concentration in the lung forced to follow a time pattern controlled by the experimenter. The report consists of a list of the phenomena found, figures illustrating these phenomena and references where each phenomenon is described in detail. (Author)
