Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which hyperventilation affects the nervous controls over breathing.
Introduction: Hyperventilation is the condition appears due to over breathing. Hyperventilation leads to decrease in carbon dioxide and increase in pH. Hyperventilation may lead to respiratory alkalosis or hypocapnia.

Some competitive
swimmers hyperventilate
before a race, thinking they
can "load up on extra
oxygen" and hold their
breaths longer underwater.
While they can indeed hold
their breaths longer, it is not
for the reason they think.
Furthermore, some have
lost consciousness and
drowned because of this
practice. What is wrong
with this thinking, and what
accounts for the loss of
consciousness?
A spinal cord injury at C2 results not only in paralysis but also in a lifetime on a respirator. Why does an injury this high affect ability to breathe?
which of the following would not be a characteristic of respiratory responses to parasympathetic dominance?
a. brochiodialation
b. increased bronchial tone
c. decreased breathing depth
d. reduced breathing rate
