How the rate of respiration controlled by the animal organism?

Breathing is the mechanical procedure in which air reaches the lungs. The rate of respiration is controlled by a respiratory center in the brain stem that responds to changes in the hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide in the blood.


What gas must animals breathe to survive?

Animal must brethe to survive. The Gas that is used to survive is called OXYGEN (O2). This gas is the waste given off by plants. Another gas animals 'use' to stay alive is CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2). Yes carbon dioxide. Our breathing rate is controled by the medulla oblangata and it does so by checking the level of carbon dioxide that is present in the blood. Example. If someone is drowning and is pulled from the water and the person is not breathing it is recommended that CPR or oral resuscitation is performed. Why? The amount of CO2 that the resuscitater is breathing into the resuscitatee will trigger a reaction in the medulla oblangata that will cause the muscles of the lungs to start working again.


Does exhaling carbon dioxide on plants increase their rate of growth?

Not especially: check first that the plant is getting light (or not) depending on its species needs, also check its water, the type of soil - these efforts may be more helpful to keeping the plant alive then breathing on it.


What happens to the carbon dioxide and oxygen exchanged through both the lungs and the skin when an animal hibernates?

An animals breathing rate during hibernation slows down. The animals heart rate also slows during hibernation. Their body temperature will drop at this time as well.

How breathing is Controled?

Breathing rate is controlled by the level of carbon dioxide.


What happens when carbon dioxide increases in the blood?

If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.


When the level in carbon dioxide in the blood increases the?

If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.


What gas does the body monitor that can then affect the rate of breathing?

Carbon dioxide


An increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in the?

An increase in carbon dioxide (hypercarbia or hypercapnia) will cause an increased breathing rate.


The breathing center in the brain is most sensitive to the?

levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.


How does your rate and depth of breathing get rid of more carbon dioxide from your muscles?

Yes.


An increased rate of breathing as a result of an increased buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream would be best described as an example of?

Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?

carbon dioxide increases


What is one factor that stimulates the brainstem to increase the breathing rate?

When carbon dioxide levels increase.


The most important signal that the brain uses to set the breathing rate as the level of blood?

Carbon Dioxide


How does how fast you're breathing affect cellular respiration?

the breathing rate and volume of each breath increases to bring more oxygen into the body and remove the carbon dioxide produced. the heart rate increases, to supply the muscles with extra oxygen and remove the carbon dioxide produced.
