breathing is regulated by the respiratory control centre (RCC) which detects signals from the chemoreceptors and proprioceptors, the RCC then sends a signal to the inspiratory centre and the expiratory control centre to either contract the external intercostal muscles and phrenic nerves to breathe out or relax the internal intercostal muscles and abs to breathe in.

What is the system function of the Respiratory System?

The function of the respiratory system is to allow gas exchange it, taking oxygen into the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood.

What iare the physiological functions of the respiratory system?

The respiratory system helps to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood for cellular respiration. It also helps regulate pH balance in the body by controlling the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. Additionally, it helps filter out harmful particles and pathogens from the air we breathe.


What role does carbon dioxide play in producing respiratory acidosis?

Respiratory acidosis is caused by any condition that interferes with the ability of the lungs to exchange gases, specifically to remove carbon dioxide from blood. And there is an elevated carbon dioxide level in blood with acidosis.
