heart rate are essentially unchanged or slightly elevated in vivo because of its stimulation of catecholamines. (Respiratory) N20 increases respiratory rate (tachypnea) and decreases tidal volume as a result of CNS stimulation and activation of pulmonary stretch receptors. The net effect is minimal change in minute ventilation and resting arterial CO2 levels. Hypoxic drive‚ the ventilatory response to arterial hypoxia that is mediated by peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid bodies is depressed
