Carbon dioxide plays a large role in oxygen transport from the blood to the cells of the brain and body. A reduction in carbon dioxide levels brings with it reduced oxygenation of tissue and vital organs . This can lead to many health problems.
Unconsciousness.
an increase in the blood ph
This usually happens due to hyperventilating... The person will pass out if they will not intake sufficient amount of CO2. That is why paper bags are commonly used > to intake the exhaled CO2. Ultimately decrease in CO2 leads to increase in blood pH, and if not stopped our brain will shut down the body. This is a defence mechanism hense a significant variation in pH may lead to death.
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.
when co2 levels build up in your circulation ,, blood pH is reduced [more acidic] and that triggers chemical receptors in certain areas of your blood vessels ,and these receptors send signals to the respiratory center [at medulla oblongata] to increase rate of respiration to flush away these accelerated levels through air in your exhalations
You can not die of holding the breath. As you hold the breath, carbon bi oxide get accumulated in your blood. It is very powerful stimulant of the breathing.
Increase in confusion, and finally loss of consciousness, coma and death (with high enough CO2 levels).
It decreases.
When your oxygen levels go up and carbon dioxide levels in the body go down this will cause your heart rate to speed up. This is caused by the blood vessels opening and the heart working harder to pump the blood.

Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.
CO2 is the primary cvontrol for rate of breathing (not oxygen as many would expect). High levels of CO2 are very toxid to the tissues of the body and os it was allowed to remain in the blood most of these tissues would die off. And so sensors within the blood systmem detect the CO2 levels and stimulate faster deeper breathing if thesae elvels are to high for safety.
Breathing too fast causes CO2 levels to decrease, and you can faint.
decrease in blood CO2 concentration and a rise in pH
The respiratory system helps control the acidity of the blood by regulating the elimination of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O).These molecules are exhaled with every breath.H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2(carbonic acid)The brain is sensitive to blood CO2 levels and pH.A significant increase in CO2 or decrease below pH 7.38 of arterial blood- causes breathing to increase (in rate and depth)- results in hyperventilation- more CO2 is exhaled- eliminates CO2 - reduces H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- increases pH back to normalA significant decrease in CO2 or increase in pH- causes breathing to decrease- results in hypoventilation- less CO2 is exhaled- increases CO2 - increases H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- decreases pH back to normalRespiratory mechanism (depth and rate of breathing) controls CO2CO2 in solution is an acid.Partial Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) levels in Arterial Blood Gas (ABG).Higher PaCO2 causes acidosis (lower pH), or neutralizes alkalosis.Lower PaCO2 causes alkalosis (raises pH.), or neutralizes acidosis.
An increase in blood CO2 levels will result in an increase in carbonic acid formation, and therefore lower the pH.
They are able to survive on much lower levels of oxygen and higher levels of CO2 than other mammals, because of the ability of their blood to carry more CO2.
WIth hyperventilation there is a decrease of CO2 in the blood and lungs. Lowering CO2 concentration increases the time before the respiratory center becomes stimulated.
Decrease - as co2 is acidic Just think about those soft drink, as you just open and drink, its full of gases and acidicly sweet but after those gases gone, you drink like sugar water
