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.
The lungs and kidneys are the major organs involved in regulating blood pH. 1  The lungs flush acid out of the body by exhaling CO 2. 2  Raising and lowering the respiratory rate alters the amount of CO 2 that is breathed out, and this can affect blood pH within minutes.
