Why do people breathe in carbon dioxide when they are hyperventilating?

Actually, when people hyperventilate, they loose carbon dioxide. The old way of treating a person who is hyperventilating is to breathe into a paper bag. This is no longer recommended, unless your doctor tells you to do so. Hyperventilation causes your body to expel too much carbon dioxide and that can change the pH level in the blood and cause metabolic problems. Since hyperventilation is mostly a psychological problem than a physiological problem, the best treatment is to is to stay calm and practice breathing slowly and not too deeply.

How are the oxygen and carbon cycles linked?
All three cycles are found in soil. also, they are very important to every oragnism. the carbon cycle recycles caronatoms and the nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen, and the oxagen cycle recycles the oxagen. both cycles are found in soil. also, they are very important to every oragnism. the carbon cycle recycles caronatoms and the nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen.
Why does breathing into a paper bag decrease rate of respiration?
B/C people who do this are hyperventilating and expelling too much Carbon Dioxide from their blood. Breathing into a paper bag helps them HYPOventilate to the point where they're calmed. You exhale 17% oxygen, 4% carbon dioxide, 89% nitrogen. The CO2 helps slow the breathing by balancing the right amount of CO2 back into the blood.
What is sent out of the body every time you exhale?
When you exhale, you actually release oxygen, nitrogen and other gasses. But most of all you release more carbon dioxide. People often think that the lungs must be full of carbon dioxide but they are not. The percentage of gas in the lungs that is highest is nitrogen. It isn't used by your body but is important in keeping your lungs inflated. But all-in-all, you exhale more carbon dioxide than you inhale.
What do plants give to human beings?
why are plants important to people? photosynthesis ============================================================== they give off oxygen which we breath and take in the co2 which we breath out an turn it into oxygen again, if their where no planet we be lucky if their was 5 years worth of air for us to breath.
What waste products are produced in cellular respiration?
C2O + H2O(Carbon Dioxide + Water . {One carbon and two oxygen atoms + Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom . [Just for all you people who aren't science geeks]})add. Assuming you don't mean plant cellular respiration, in which case the waste product is oxygen. Carbon dioxide is what gives off waste products in cellular respiration. This is a process.
What gas do people breathee in and what do they breathe out?
We breathe in oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide
What do people breathe in when they inhale?
Carbon Dioxide?
What kind of gas do people breathe out?
Carbon dioxide
What do people and animals breathe plus carbon dioxide?
Oxygen
What are the things that people breathe out their lungs?
People breath carbon dioxide out of their lungs
What gas do people breathe out?
Humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in this carbon dioxide along with sunlight and water, and convert it into a form of energy. They release oxygen.Carbon dioxide CO2
What do people breathe in from plants?
Oxygen - we give plant carbon dioxide
The source of carbon dioxide for photosynesis is?
The air - what people and animals breathe out etc
What gas do people breath in and what do they breath out?
Breathe in air ,mainly Nitrogen80% and 20% Oxygen Breathe out Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen
Does a plant grow better with carbon minoxide or with oxygen?
Neither! Plants breathe carbon dioxide, which is a natural waste product of most animal respiration. I.e., humans and most other animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen! Which is probably why some people think that it helps to talk to your plant from time to time. (Who knows? It might help it grow a little bit.)
What creates oxygen?
Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide from people and release oxygen for people to breathe and live.
Why are green leaves important to people?
They process the carbon dioxide we breathe out and re-process it into oxygen!
