Does the diaphragm help with the removal of carbon dioxide in the respiratory system?

The respiratory system uses diffusion and the diaphragm to bring oxygen into the lungs and push carbon dioxide out of the lungs. When you breath in your diaphragm expands into a dome shape creating an area of decompression and the air is forced into your lungs filling the empty space. When breating out it is the opposite the diaphragm flattens and pushes the air out of the lungs. THe air mainly consists of carbon dioxide

Which system transports carbon dioxide for removal from the body?
i don't know i was trying to ask this question but apparently i wanted to tell u what happened and why I'm doing this. sorry if i wasted your time but who r u gonna complain to. peace out homies
What blood level is most significant in regulating the respiratory center of mammals?
The levels of carbon dioxide in the body are monitored by chemoreceptors, (they do this by measuring pH - lower pH means more carbon dioxide). If the levels of carbon dioxide are too high then the respiratory centre of the brain (in the medulla oblongatis) sends signals to the lungs and diaphragm to increase the breathing rate.
What does the respiratory remove?
carbon dioxide
What gas does the respiratory system get rid of?
The respiratory system utilises oxygen from the environmrntal gases and expires carbon dioxide (CO2).
Primary respiratory drive is based on?
Primiary respiratory drive in a healthy person is based on carbon dioxide levels. In a healthy person each time the carbon dioxide level gets high the brain stem send nerve impulses down the spinal cord that cause the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles to contract.
Does oxygen or carbon dioxide have the greatest stimulating effect on the respiratory center in the brain?
Carbon dioxide.
What has the greatest stimulation on the respiratory center in the brain?
blood carbon dioxide levels
What does the respiratory system get rid of?
Carbon dioxide
What does the respiratory system take out?
Carbon dioxide.
What is gas exchange in the respiratory?
Carbon dioxide
What is exchanged in the respiratory system?
Carbon dioxide
Is the respiratory system is the system that moves oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide and water out?
The respiratory system moves oxygen in and carbon dioxide (CO2) out.
