The Walker Art Center is home to an in-depth collection of Oldenburgâs work, ranging from early performance-related objects to large-scale outdoor sculpture to drawings, prints, multiples, and rare studies.
Chemoreceptors detect the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood by monitoring the concentrations of hydrogen ions in the blood. Learning Objective. Describe the role of chemoreceptors in the regulation of breathing. An increase in carbon dioxide concentration leads to a decrease in the pH of blood due to the production of H+ ions from carbonic acid.
Other pH-Buffer Systems in the Blood. Other buffers perform a more minor role than the carbonic-acid-bicarbonate buffer in regulating the pH of the blood. The phosphate buffer consists of phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4) in equilibrium with dihydrogen phosphate ion (H 2 PO 4 -) and H + .he pK for the phosphate buffer is 6.8, which allows this buffer to function within its optimal buffering range at physiological pH. The phosphate buffer only plays a minor role in the blood, however, because H 3 PO 4 and H 2 PO 4 - are found in very low concentration in the blood.
