Respiration review

Hemoglobin is useful because

1. It transports O2, it transports CO2, it acts as a buffer (helps to maintain pH) 1. It transports O2, it transports CO2, it acts as a buffer (helps to maintain pH) 1. It transports O2, it transports CO2, it acts as a buffer (prevents the ph from changing)

If you hold your breathe

Accumulated carbon dioxide will force the continuation of your breathing. Accumulated carbon dioxide will force the continuation of your breathing. Accumulated carbon dioxide will force the continuation of your breathing. Accumulated carbon dioxide will force the continuation of your breathing.

A healthy person takes several successive, rapid, deep breaths forcing air out of the lungs after each breath. There will be a pause before normal breathing movements return because of why?

An insufficient amount of Carbon Dioxide.

Impulses from the fully inflated lungs to the breathing center put an end to over breathing. The Stretch Receptors put an end to taking

True. Impulses from the fully inflated lungs direct tell the Medula Oblongata "I can't take in any more oxygen"

High concentrations of H+ or CO2 in the blood will result in...

an increased rate of breathing
