    hypoxia is sustained hyperventilation triggered by chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies. With this prolonged hyperventilation a high alveolar P02 is produced‚ but with that there is a lowered alveolar PCO2 that results in respiratory alkalosis. This wants to decrease the ventilation‚ but renal compensation is activated‚ secreting bicarbonate and reabsorbing hydrogen which gradually brings the blood PH back to normal and allows further increase in ventilation. This acute hypoxic ventilatory

    around in different ways that ultimately change the shape of the enzyme. After the enzyme’s active site has changed shape‚ the substrate will not longer fit‚ causing the enzyme not work properly. “If the pH climbs to an unacceptably high value called alkalosis then enzymes cease to function effectively‚” (Sang‚ 2013). To avoid changes in pH‚ buffers are used. Buffers are a substance found in the blood that prevent changes in pH levels‚ which helps enzymes to function
