I know that the medulla oblongate and crotid and aortic bodies detect 
changes in pH brought about by changes in carbon dioxide concentration but 
want to know HOW?  I need to illustrate the process using 3D graphics and 
can't seem to find a simple explanationin any text books.  They just state 
that it happens.  Please help
