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
How can a change in respiration affect blood pH?
Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation) or slowly (hyperventilation) are ways the body may become unbalanced or attempt to compensate an imbalanced blood pH. The blood's normal pH is 7.35-7.45. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is acts to acidify the blood (lower the pH). Therefore, hyperventilating (deceasing the CO2 contained in the blood) increases blood pH. Inversely, hypoventilation creates a decline in blood pH.
How does Ph regulate breathing?
It doesn't. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a substance, breathing is taking oxygen out of air and putting out carbon dioxide.
Human blood has an approximate pH of 7.3. Which substance is more basic than human blood?
A water and ammonia solution with a pH of 11
PH value of blood?
The pH value of blood is 7.38 to be exact.
How is blood pH maintained by the respiratory system?
Respiration controls the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. If respiration slows, CO2 increases, causing a respiratory acidosis. If respiration quickens or deepens, CO2 decreases, promoting a respiratory alkalosis. This is helpful if there is another process going on that impacts the pH of the blood. For instance, in diabetic ketoacidosis, the pH decreases in the blood due to the production of ketoacids. The respiratory system responds by increasing respiration and decreasing CO2 to help bring the pH of the blood up toward normal. The pattern of breathing patients in DKA develop is called Kussmaul breathing - deep and fast. This is a classic sign of DKA.
The kidneys help to regulate the PH of body fluids by controlling the?
The kidneys control pH by secreting or reabsorbing H+ ions.
What does medullary breathing centers directly sense and responds to?
blood PH and Co2 concentration
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
What two body systems are involved in keeping blood pH within this very narrow range?
There are more than two, there are in fact 6. 1. The nervous system monitors the blood pH levels, and sends signals to fix it. 2. The respiratory system controls your breathing, the CO2 that makes your blood acidic needs to get out by breathing. 3. The circulatory system transports the CO2 around in your blood, and other things that makes your blood acidic. 4. The muscular system is used for breathing. 5. The excretory system has the kidneys that help with regulating pH levels. 6. The endocrine system releases hormones, adrenalin, which increases your breathing rate. hope this helps!
2 systems control pH in the body. What are they?
The two systems that control pH in the body are the respiratory system and the renal system. The respiratory system helps regulate pH by controlling the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood through breathing. The renal system, or kidneys, regulate pH by excreting or reabsorbing hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the urine.

Can anyone explain the different mechanisms that contribute to the regulation of breathing?
Mechanisms that contribute to the regulation of breathing is a sensor / control center that can recognize the change in pH of the cerebrospinal fluid. Which affects the nervous system and chemical signals which are when carbon dioxide rises in the blood?
What might add to or remove from the blood to control its pH?
buffers
What would low carbon dioxide in blood do?
Slow down breathing, because pH would rise.
Do hypothalamus control involuntary actions like breathing?
it does so by determining how acidic the bloodis. if it has a low pH due to large abount of co2 in the blood then you breath more. if you have lots of oxygen and a higher pH then you breathe slower. this hapens in the cerabelum.
Why does the pH level decrease when blood CO2 levels increase?
well...too much CO2 in the body means there's a high H+ concentration.... which means there's low pH.
