Excerpt from The Diagnosis of Acidosis: A Review and Criticism of the Methods at Present in UseOne other factor tnust clearly come into play to permit of the smooth oper ation of the above mechanism. Namely. The rate of pulmonary ventilation must be adapted to the amount of co2 that has to be eliminated. This adaptation de pends ou the respiratory center. The activity of which is preeminently dependent upon the acid base equilibrium in the blood.It is Commonly taught that the thing that really stimulates the respiratory center is not the co2 itself. But the slight increase in C which. As explained above. Inevitably occttrs. In spite of the butler action. This is. However. Probablv an incorrect view. For R. W. Scott. Working in my laboratory. Has found that co2 itself can excite the center quite independently of the H-ion concentration of the blood. Thus Scott found after injecting sodium carbonate into-decere brate cats until the C was very decidedly lowered. That a subsequent increase in the free C0. Of the blood excited respiration almost to the same degree as would have been the case when the C u of the blood was the normal. And furthermore. That when this excitement occurred. The blood was still markedly alkaline.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
