When a person is hyperventilating, the PCO2 decreases. This is because a person is breathing enough to expel the CO2 out of the lungs making it decrease.
What to happens to breathing rate during jumping jacks?
Increases due to greater oxygen demands and a rising blood CO2 concentration (PCO2).
What happens to pco2 during breath holding?
PCO2 levels rise during breath holding. The longer the breath is held, the more PCO2 will rise, even to the point of syncope oclcurring (passing out).
Does breathing rate increase or decrease when arterial PCO2 increases?
increases
What happens when plasma PCO2 increases?
Plasma pH will Decrease
The strongest stimulatory effect on pulmonary ventilation is?
PCO2 of the blood. Co2 removal is the biggest reason for breathing.
What happens to Pco2 levels with hyperventillation?
During hyperventilation, the CO2 level will raise. The reason for this is because when you hyperventilate, your rate of exchange is not enough to remove the CO2 in the lungs.
What gas level does the body respond to more often to control breathing?
The body responds first to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood. PCO2)
Is Alveolar PCO2 identical to atmospheric PCO2?
No, it is higher or the CO2 would not move out of the lungs.
What regulates activities?

What regulates respiratory activity?
