Emotion can affect the respiratory rate by triggering the body's fight-or-flight response, leading to an increase in breathing rate during states of stress, anxiety, or excitement. Conversely, feelings of calmness or relaxation can result in a slower breathing rate. Emotional factors can influence the autonomic nervous system, which controls respiration.
Exercise, inflammation, excitement level, anatomy and medications can all affect the respiratory rate.
The answer depends on the location of the bacteria. In the bladder, if causing a UTI, there is unlikely to be a big change in respiratory rate. In the blood, or even in the kidneys, an increase is likely.
COPD can affect the rate and depth of breathing including respiratory volumes. A stress test will also show irregular changes.
It is due to CO2 reduction. Low CO2 stimulates chemo-receptors in brain stem. Respiratory rate is reduced in order for CO2 to come back to normal.
Being Ill ca. influence it pretty well.
It will induce a respiratory alkalosis, as carbon dioxide is washed out of the blood by the increased ventilation rate.
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
lower exchange rate,takes longer for gases to diffuse
