Carbon dioxide partial pressure:
1. increases in the blood as it travels from the systemic venules to the inferior vena cava.
2. increases in the blood as it travels from the pulmonary arteries to the pulmonary veins.
3. is greater in the blood in the systemic capillary beds than in the alveoli of the lungs.
4. is greater in the blood in the systemic capillary beds than in the systemic tissues.

Regarding the chemical regulation of respiration in humans:
I: A chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO2 and hydrogen ions.
II: Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery can recognise changes in O2 concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm centre for remedial actions.
III: The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is most significant.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only II and III are incorrect
3. I, II and III are incorrect
4. Only I and III are correct
