Summary Introduction

To explain:

That how increased breathing rate increases blood $\text{pH}$.

Concept introduction:

The normal cellular function occurs in an optimum $\text{pH}$ range which is regulated by a balance between the concentration of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ that control the acidic and alkaline condition in blood. Breathing rate is known to regulate the blood $\text{pH}$ by providing ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ through respiration.
