What else can I help you with?
What eliminates carbon dioxide in the blood?
Ventilation (via the lungs).
Term for the abnormal buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood?
it is called a blood clot
How does increased ventilation rate affect arterial blood?
It will induce a respiratory alkalosis, as carbon dioxide is washed out of the blood by the increased ventilation rate.
How do hypercapnia stimulate ventilation?
Hypercapnia, increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, stimulates ventilation by acting as a powerful stimulus to breathe. Chemoreceptors in the brainstem sense the high carbon dioxide levels and signal the respiratory muscles to increase ventilation rate and depth. This helps to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body and restore normal levels of blood gases.
How does an increase in ventilation affect blood pH?
An increase in ventilation leads to a decrease in blood carbon dioxide levels, shifting the pH towards alkalinity (higher pH). This is because carbon dioxide acts as an acid in the blood, so decreasing it causes the blood to become more alkaline.
A 10 percent increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood will?
Will decrease the blood pH causing increased ventilation.
What can affect how long a person can hold their breaths?
How long the breath is held is limited by carbon dioxide buildup in the blood.
When is heart-lung transplantation required?
when blood ventilation (air exchange) is inhibited. Inhibited oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer prevents the delivery of oxygen to the tissue and results in carbon dioxide levels in the blood that are higher than normal.
When you hold your breath for half a minute the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will?
If you hold your breath, the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will increase. Carbon dioxide is constantly produced by the body's metabolism, and constantly exhaled. So if it is not exhaled, it will start to build up.
What is the medical term meaning high blood carbon dioxide levels?
hypercapniaHypercapnia but also known as hypercapnea, hypercarbia,HypercapniaHypercapnia is the medical term meaning high CO2 in the blood.hypercapniahypercapniahypercarbiawhat is excessive carbon dioxide in the blood called? HypercapniahypercapniahypercapniaAn abnormal build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood is hypercapnia.HypercapniaHypercapniaAn abnormal buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood is known as hypercapnia.(high-per-KAP-nee-ah)hyper-means excessive ,capn means carbon dioxide, and -ia means abnormal condition.
Why must whales have blood that is tolerant of CO2?
The length of their dives causes a buildup of carbon dioxide which would be harmful to most other mammals.
What is the best indication of the adequacy of alveolar ventilation?
The best indication of the adequacy of alveolar ventilation is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in arterial blood. This measurement reflects how effectively the lungs are removing carbon dioxide from the body, which is a waste product of metabolism. Proper alveolar ventilation ensures that PaCO2 levels remain within the normal range.
