Question

1. Hyperventilation does what to blood CO2 levels? And therefore, what should happen to breath holding time as compared to your rest(tidal) breath holding time?

2. Hypoventilation does what to blood CO2 level? And therefore what should happen to breath holding time as compared to your at rest(tidal) breath holding time?

3. Exercise has what effect on the rate of CO2 production? What might this do to blood pH? And what you answers tell you should happen to your ability to hold your breath immediately after exercise?

Explanation / Answer

1.Hyperventilation decreases the blood co2 levels. This is called hypocapnia. It results in increased blood ph and is called respiratory alkalosis. It increases the breath holding time.

2.hypoventilation increases the blood co2 levels. This results in lowering the ph of blood and is called respiratory acidosis. It decreases the breath holding time.

3 excercise increases the rate of co2 production. This decreases the blood ph and makes it acidic. This makes us to hyperventilate and decrease the breath holding time.
