Is breathing regulated mainly by response to the level of carbon dioxide in the blood?
Yes, breathing is primarily regulated by the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the body signals the need to breathe more to expel excess carbon dioxide and take in fresh oxygen. Conversely, if carbon dioxide levels drop too low, breathing may decrease to retain carbon dioxide.
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.
What is lung function?
They take in oxygen, and expel Carbon dioxide as a waste product.
What happens when you cannot expel carbon dioxide from your lungs?
You spontaneously grow gills and then that works.
How is carbon dioxide formed in quick bread?
Carbon dioxide is the result of the reaction between the yeast compounds and the gluten. The heat process causes the compounds to expel the carbon dioxide, which expands more than the oxygen in the bread.
How does a butterfly respire?
Spiracles are the mechanism through which butterflies take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide
A collection of organs hose primary function is to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide?
the answer is a vein
What are the function of root and leaf?
The roots take in water and food - the leaves expel carbon dioxide.
What gas do all animals expel from their lungs during respiration?
All animals expel carbon dioxide from their lungs during respiration. This gas is a byproduct of the metabolic processes happening within their cells and needs to be removed from the body to prevent buildup.
Importance of oxygen to plants?
Plants expel oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This process takes carbon dioxide and breaks it into carbon and oxygen.
Does a hyena breathe oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Hyenas, like all mammals, breathe in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide as a waste product of respiration. They have lungs that extract oxygen from inhaled air and expel carbon dioxide when they exhale.
What gas do you expel when you inhale?
You do not expel any gas when inhaling. Inhaling is the act of taking air in, if you mean when exhaling (breathing out) then carbon dioxide (aka CO2)
