(a)
To write:
About the change (increases, decreases, or stays the same) for each of the following variables if the person hyperventilates: a) blood CO2.
Introduction:
Hyperventilation refers to an increased rate of breathing. This implies an increased rate of inhalation and exhalation. This is one of the compensatory mechanisms to maintain the acid-base balance of the blood.
(b)
To write:
About the change (increases, decreases, or stays the same) for each of the following variables if the person hyperventilates: b) blood H+ concentration and c) blood pH.
