Best Answer

Carbon Dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration. After your cells remove CO2 as a waste product, it travels back through the blood, into capillaries in the lungs. From there, the CO2 is removed through exhalation when you breathe. An important thing to note is that your exhaled breath is not 100% CO2. It is a mixture of room air and CO2.

Why does PCO2 increase during hypoventilation?

The concentration of C02 in the lung is usual very low as the rate of inspiration and the exchange of volume between the lungs and the outside flushes the C02 into the air where it is a mere faction of a percent of the environmental gases. In the body however there is a constant metabolism that is producing C02. During hypoventilation the rate of exchange is insufficient to remove the C02 which is being produced faster than it is dissipated.
