well...too much CO2 in the body means there's a high H+ concentration.... which means there's low pH.

∙ 14y agoCarbon dioxide can combine with water in the blood to produce carbonic acid. The more carbonic acid in the blood, the more acidic it will be. Ph is an indicator of acidity. Therefore pH can be used to measure carbon dioxide levels.

∙ 11y agoThere are two ways the body attempts to
compensate for a pH imbalance: Respiratory
compensation and metabolic compensation.
The blood's normal pH is 7.35-7.45. RESPIRATORY: Breathing rapidly
(hyperventilation) or slowly (hyperventilation)
are ways the body compensates for imbalanced
blood pH. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is acts to acidify the blood
(lower the pH). Therefore, the respiratory
system attempts to compensate for the
imbalance: resulting in hyperventilating
(deceasing CO2 contained in the blood) during
low blood pH (acidosis). Inversely, hyperventilation occurs during a rise in blood pH
(alkalosis). METABOLIC: The kidneys produce sodium
bicarbonate, acting as a alkaline substance
(raising pH). The increased release of
bicarbonate increases blood pH. Inversely, the
deceased release of bicarbonate lowers the
blood pH. If the body cannot adequately compensate for
the pH imbalance it becomes is a life-
threatening condition.

∙ 11y agoCO2 gas, when dissolved in blood, is the second largest group of negative ions of blood plasma. Hence, breathing directly affects blood pH. In its turn, blood pH is tightly monitored within a very narrow range (from about 7.3 to 7.5) by the group of nerve cells located in the medulla oblongata in order to have normal-body biochemistry. The same nerve cells control breathing by through several independent mechanisms, including peripheral and central CO2 and O2 chemoreceptors.

An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood should decrease the rate of breathing?
No: it would tend to call urgency into your body's systems to do all that can be done to decrease these toxic levels and increase the oxygen levels. This would considerably increase your breathing.
What is the hormone antagonists of pth?
Calcitonin is an antagonist to PTH C cells increase calcitonin secretion due to high blood Ca levels PTH is secreted due to decrease in Ca level in blood Calcitonin allows osteoclasts to increase bone resorption when blood Ca level decreases.
Which hormone is responsible for the levels of sugar in blood?
There are several hormone which serve to raise blood glucose levels. Some examples include cortisol, epinephrine, glucagon, and growth hormone.
What is the effect of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone?
Calcitonic and Parathamon decrease calcium level.Phosphate level is decreased by calcitonin.Parathon increase it.
What Hormone responds to high levels of calcium in the blood?
Its Calcitonin , which responds to increase in serum calcium level...But on the other hand Parathhormone increases the serum calcium level....Dr Sindura C.S

What is negative feedback interaction between calcitonin and parathyroid hormone?
The parathyroid gland is the major regulator of blood Ca levels. When the Ca levels in the blood decrease, the parathyroid gland releases more parathyroid hormone. This in turn increases osteoclasts which results in more bone breakdown. this releases more Ca into the blood stream. When Ca levels in the blood increase the thyroid gland releases Calcitonin. this decreases the activity of the osteoclasts which in turn decrease the levels of Ca in the blood.
A 10 percent increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood will?
Will decrease the blood pH causing increased ventilation.
Why do you need to maintain your blood sugar levels?
It is beneficial for those who are diagnosed with diabetic to decrease their blood sugar level. This is essentially because high blood sugar level can increase the risks of strokes and even heart attack, which can be life threatening. For more advice on how to control to blood sugar level, it is recommended for one to visit their doctor.
How does the pH in the blood change with an increase in the level of CO2?
An increase in blood CO2 levels will result in an increase in carbonic acid formation, and therefore lower the pH.
What is the hormone antagonists of pth?
Calcitonin is an antagonist to PTH C cells increase calcitonin secretion due to high blood Ca levels PTH is secreted due to decrease in Ca level in blood Calcitonin allows osteoclasts to increase bone resorption when blood Ca level decreases.
What triggers the release of glucagon?
A decrease in blood sugar levels would trigger the secretion of glucagon. The glucagon would raise the blood sugar levels through release of glucose from the glycogen stored in the liver.
Does high level causes increase in blood pressure?
Question needs clarification- high levels of what?
When blood glucose level rises the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose level declines When blood glucose level is low the pancreas secretes glucagon and as a result blood gluc?
Insulin decrease glucose level.Glucogon increase glucose level.
What happens to your blood pressure when your oxygen level goes down?
In places with lower oxygen levels (typically areas with high elevation for example), the blood pressure will indeed increase. However, as one acclimates to(gets used to) the environment, the number of red blood cells in your body will also increase, which will then eventually decrease the higher than average blood pressure.
What is functions of glucagon and insulin?
Insulin decrease blood glucose level.Glucon increase glucose level.
When climbing a mountain with a barometer will the mercury level decrease or increase?
decrease
