Respiratory acidosis is a condition where body is unable to eliminate all the carbon dioxide within the lungs; this condition results with the body fluids becoming too acidic usually within the patient’s blood. The PCO2 of respiratory acidosis is greater than 45mmHg and the pH would be less than 7.36. (Graham‚ T. (2006). Respiratory alkalosis is when the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood‚ mainly due to breathing excessively are too low. Levels of respiratory alkalosis is a PCO2 of less than 35

Respiratory Function Jeremiah Schmidt - 17456597 ------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The aim of practical 3 under the respiratory control subsection was to investigate the effects that hyperventilation and rebreathing have on ventilation rate and breaking point and to observe the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) on water pH (School of Science and Health 2012). The results from respiration rate and breaking point were then compared to the different sexes and further
