These receptors control arterial pressure mainly by adjusting heart rate and arteriolar vessel radius.
amount of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) that are in your blood. To get an ABG, blood is taken directly out of your artery (usually from the wrist) and can be painful. Oximetry is painless but is not as accurate as an ABG. Also, a pulse oximeter does not measure your carbon dioxide level.he blood oxygen level measured with an oximeter is called your oxygen saturation level (abbreviated O 2 sat or SaO 2). This is a percentage of how much oxygen your blood is carrying compared to the maximum it is capable of carrying. Normally, more than 89% of your red blood should be carrying oxygen.
