No: it would tend to call urgency into your body's systems to do all that can be done to decrease these toxic levels and increase the oxygen levels. This would considerably increase your breathing.

Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


What two gases increase or decrease during inhlaing and exhaling?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide increase and decrease in the lungs.


An increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in the?

An increase in carbon dioxide (hypercarbia or hypercapnia) will cause an increased breathing rate.


What happens when carbon dioxide increases in the blood?

If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.


When the level in carbon dioxide in the blood increases the?

If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.


What is one factor that stimulates the brainstem to increase the breathing rate?

When carbon dioxide levels increase.


What are the two gases increase or decrease during inhaling and exhaling?

Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide.


The breathing center in the brain is most sensitive to the?

levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.


Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?

carbon dioxide increases


What process is breathing out carbon dioxide part of?

Respiration is breathing in and absorbing oxygen, and breathing out carbon dioxide.


What two gasses increase or decrease during inhaling exhaling?

oxygen and carbon dioxide


When there is an increase in carbon dioxide in the blood what occur?

There is a part of the brain called the medulla oblongata which detects increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood and triggers the breathing reflex. Breathing then allows the excess carbon dioxide to escape by way of the lungs, as oxygen is acquired.
