When a person is hyperventilating, the PCO2 decreases. This is because a person is breathing enough to expel the CO2 out of the lungs making it decrease.

∙ 10y agoDuring hyperventilation, the CO2 level will raise. The reason for this is because when you hyperventilate, your rate of exchange is not enough to remove the CO2 in the lungs.

Is Alveolar PCO2 identical to atmospheric PCO2?
No, it is higher or the CO2 would not move out of the lungs.
The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?
Pulmonary artery/Systemic veins PCO2 = 45 PO2 = 40 Pulmonary vein/Systemic arteries PCO2 = 40 PO2 = 100
What is the normal range of PCO2 in kPa?
5.3
What are examples of respiratory problems that would result in pH and pco2 like in rebreathing?
Asthma
What happens to acquifers when water levels drop?
It becomes into humus
What happens to the carbon dioxide level during hyperventilation in fresh air?
CO2 drops during Hyperventillation
Is hyperventillation syndrome the same as PPSR?
No, Trust me I have it (Hyperventillation Syndrom thst is.). Totally not the same. :)
Why is PCO2 decreased during rapid breathing?
Rapid breathing can lead to a condition called hyperventilation. Hyperventilation occurs when a person breaths more rapidly than the body demands. When a person hyperventilates, the CO2 blood concentration (partial pressure) decreases below normal levels.
Is Alveolar PCO2 identical to atmospheric PCO2?
No, it is higher or the CO2 would not move out of the lungs.
Is the concentration of carbon dioxide higer in tissues than in arterial blood?
It contains more, at the tissues the systemic artery carries oxygen which diffuses out at a capillary bed, at the same cappillaries carbon dioxide diffuses in and travels up the venules to the systemic vein
What to happens to breathing rate during jumping jacks?
Increases due to greater oxygen demands and a rising blood CO2 concentration (PCO2).
What regulates activities?
pco2
The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?
Pulmonary artery/Systemic veins PCO2 = 45 PO2 = 40 Pulmonary vein/Systemic arteries PCO2 = 40 PO2 = 100
When PCO2 declines bronchioles?
constrict
What type of membrane used in po2 and pco2 electrode?
Teflon is used for the membrane of pco2 electrodes as it allows for the diffusion of co2 but not ions.
What is the med term for an abnormally rapid rate of respiration?
Tachypnea (Tachypnoea); Hyperventillation
What are the units for pCO2?
mm Hg (mercury)
