What happens to the breathing rate if blood concentration of oxygen decreases?
Decreased breathing rate > more Co2 and less O2 in blood > more acidity > Lower PH level
Why does an increase in pulse rate and breathing rate accompany exercise?
Your Breathing rate is increased due to the fact that your muscles are working harder then when they are at rest. This means that they need oxygen, along with sugars to complete cellular respiration. Your heart rate increases so that it can move the oxygen to the target cell in the muscles you are using quicker.
What is the breathing rate determined by the level of something in the blood?
The breathing rate is determined by the level of the carbon bi oxide. The increase in the concentration, increase the breathing rate. The decrease in the oxygen concentration should do the same thing. But the oxygen is poorly soluble. So it can not affect the breathing centre like the carbon bi oxide. The carbon bi oxide is highly soluble and it also alters the pH of the blood.
When you exercise your pulse rate goes?
your pulse rate increases so your breathing rates can increase which allows you to take in more oxygen to transfer to your blood.
What can the breathing rate increase to during exercise?
When we take exercise our body needs more oxygen .Our normal breathing rate do not fulfill the oxygen requirement due to which breathing rate is increased.
Why does your breathing rate increase when you play basketball?
Basketball is a sport. You are exercising your body and therefore you require oxygen for the blood to go around.
Why does breathing rate increase at a high altitude?
At high altitude, there is less oxygen, so breathing rate is increased to compensate.
An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood should decrease the rate of breathing?
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.
Why do both your heart rate and breathing rates increase when you exercise?
Increased metabolism required to make your body move more quickly or muscles work harder requires oxygen. The blood carries oxygen, and the lungs help the oxygen get into the blood. The heart goes faster so the oxygen can be delivered more quickly.Over the long term, they actually decrease with exercise, as the body gets more tuned. The short term increase in pulse rate and breathing rate, are to get more oxygen to the muscles. The heart higher breath intake is to get more oxygen in the blood stream. The heart rate increase is to get the bloodflow higher so even more oxygen can get into the muscles.
Give three short term effects of exercise and explain why they occur?
Increase in breathing rate - occurs to allow the replenishment of ATP/ glycogen stores and blood oxygen levels Increase in heart rate - occurs to allow the transport of oxygen to working muscles and to reoxigenate blood Increase in rate of perspiration - Occurs to increase cooling of the body and As a by product of the chemical reaction of energy
The rates of breathing of people in an overcrowded area increase?
Because the local rise in carbon dioxide levels triggers a feedback system that increases breathing to increase the blood oxygen level. There is probably some anxiety effect in some people too.
Why do breathing rates increase in crowded rooms?
Your rate of breathing increases in a crowded area because there is less oxygen. This is because there are more people breathing in the oxygen.
