At high altitude, there is less oxygen, so breathing rate is increased to compensate.
An increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, low oxygen levels, physical exertion, stress, or high altitude. These factors can stimulate the respiratory centers in the brain to increase the rate and depth of breathing to help maintain proper gas exchange in the body.
If I exersize it will increase/decrease my breathing rate because....(why you think it will increase or decrease your breathing rate)
Typically, the individual who suffers from HAPE ascends quickly to a high altitude and almost immediately develops shortness of breath, a rapid heart rate, a cough productive of a large amount of sometimes bloody sputum, and a rapid rate of breathing.
yes
Yes, the metabolism increases at high altitude because the body has to work harder to adjust to the lower oxygen levels. This can lead to a higher metabolic rate and increased calorie burn.
The breathing rate is determined by the level of the carbon bi oxide. The increase in the concentration, increase the breathing rate. The decrease in the oxygen concentration should do the same thing. But the oxygen is poorly soluble. So it can not affect the breathing centre like the carbon bi oxide. The carbon bi oxide is highly soluble and it also alters the pH of the blood.
Tachycardia is an increase in heart rate while tachypnea is an increase in the rate of breathing
hmm heart rate maybe?
Yes.
it will increase
During exercise, the breathing rate can increase to around 40-60 breaths per minute or even higher depending on the intensity of the exercise and individual fitness level. This increase in breathing rate helps to supply more oxygen to the muscles and remove carbon dioxide from the body.
To know the reason behind it remember one thing that with increasing altitude the temperature decreases eg. in may month there will be high temperature in mumbai that is at low altitude and comparatively low temperature in himalayan region (eg. srinagar) that is at high altitude.Now as we know that high temperature increases the rate of evaporation and if the rate of evaporation is increased through leaves then more water will go into atmosphere and humidity will increase and this gives us our answer that is...............at high altitude because of low temperature the evaporation rate decreases and thus there are less water vapour in atmosphere as compared to low altitude areas where there is high temperature and high vapour rate in air due to evaporation
