Rate of respiration in normal adult is 15 to 20 minutes/ minute. They are not 'Deep' breathing. So shallow means how mush shallow and second is how often. If you take shallow breathing at normal rate then the answer is 'Yes'. If you take shallow breathing more often, then the answer is 'No'. But as level of carbon bi oxide increase in blood, it is the most powerful stimulant of respiration. Try holding the breathing for two/three minutes and then you will come to know what is the POWER of nature is.No body has ever died by holding the breathing willfully.

When the level in carbon dioxide in the blood increases the?
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.
Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?
carbon dioxide increases
Why is carbon dioxide added to air a patient breathes?
increase the rate and increase the depth of breathing.
What process is breathing carbon dioxide?
Respiration. We breathe in oxygen, and return carbon dioxide to the air.
An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood should decrease the rate of breathing?
No: it would tend to call urgency into your body's systems to do all that can be done to decrease these toxic levels and increase the oxygen levels. This would considerably increase your breathing.
An increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in the?
An increase in carbon dioxide (hypercarbia or hypercapnia) will cause an increased breathing rate.
What happens when carbon dioxide increases in the blood?
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.
When the level in carbon dioxide in the blood increases the?
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.
What is one factor that stimulates the brainstem to increase the breathing rate?
When carbon dioxide levels increase.
The breathing center in the brain is most sensitive to the?
levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.
Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?
carbon dioxide increases
What process is breathing out carbon dioxide part of?
Respiration is breathing in and absorbing oxygen, and breathing out carbon dioxide.
When there is an increase in carbon dioxide in the blood what occur?
There is a part of the brain called the medulla oblongata which detects increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood and triggers the breathing reflex. Breathing then allows the excess carbon dioxide to escape by way of the lungs, as oxygen is acquired.
Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
An increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood stimulates the respirayory center in the brainas a result a message is sent from the brain to the?
The increase amount of carbon dioxide in the blood stimulates is called the autonomic nervous system. This is what controls breathing.
The most powerful respiratory stimulus for breathing in a healthy person is?
increase of carbon dioxide in the tissues and the bloodstream
What would happen if you kept on breathing in carbon dioxide?
There is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. You have been breathing it in all your life.
