What role does exhalation of carbon dioxide play in maintaining constant blood pH?

When there is too much CO2 it combines with H2O to make carbonic acid. It also disassociates into 3 hydrogen ions and this raises the pH in the blood.

How is the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide maintained?
trees play an important role in maintaining the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What would Proust say about the composition of all carbon dioxide molecules?
He would insist that all Carbon Dioxide molecules have the same composition, by his Law of Constant Composition.
Why does blood turn acidic if we don't exhale carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide. It's a gas that, if it's dissolved in liquids (such as water and also blood) makes that liquid acidic. The more carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid the more acidic it gets. So if you don't exhale carbon dioxide but still inhale it the blood turns acidic. This is what happens when you hyperventilate. More carbon dioxide is absorbed during inhalation than is emitted during exhalation. This is a simplified explanation so please don't quote me in academic circles.
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
What do you get adding one carbon and two oxygen?

Carbon dioxide and water are excreted here during exhalation?

What carbon dioxide and water are excreted here during exhalation?
The LUNGS is the location of where Carbon Dioxide and Water are excreted during Exhalation.
What is carbon dioxide and water are excreted here during exhalation?

Exhalation removes what from the body.?
Carbon DioxideExcess carbon dioxide
What is exhalation?
exerting carbon dioxide
Where are carbon dioxide and water excreted during exhalation?
In the atmosphere .
The expelling of carbon dioxide from the lungs is?
internal respiration
How is carbon dioxide produced naturally?
Carbon Dioxide is produced naturally by the exhalation of air in humans beings and animals.
What happen during exhalation?
The act of exhalation itself is caused by the diaphragm relaxing and pushing upward on the lungs, forcing air out of them. This air is loaded with carbon dioxide, a dangerous waste product, so that is eliminated.
What is a CO2 exhalation?
This is the releasing of carbon dioxide from an animal organism during respiration.
Why do human cells have carbon dioxide waste?
Because humans cannot utilize carbon dioxide as plants do, so they are dumped out as waste via exhalation.
Why does exhalation occur in the human body?
To remove Carbon Dioxide which is dissolved in our blood stream. Dissolved Carbon Dioxide forms Carbonic Acid which is toxic to us.
