Document Summary

Predict whether hyper- and hypoventilation will cause plasma o2 saturation, Ventilation affects external respiration and changes the concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions in the blood. Under normal ventilation conditions partial pressure of oxygen increases, partial pressure of carbon dioxide decreases and hydrogen ion concentrations decrease. Based on this predict the effect of hyperventilation and hypoventilation on oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and ph. Note that hyperventilation has little effect on oxygen saturation since hemoglobin is almost 100% saturated at normal ventilation conditions. Think spot: what functional area is involved? (a&p i) Cortical controls allow voluntary control of breathing. The hypothalamus also influences the medullary respiratory centers in response to emotions and body temperature. Most intensive exercise level without change in arterial ph. Exercise yields an immediate increase in rate and depth of breathing. This is due in part to collateral motor output that stimulates respiratory muscles as it stimulates other muscle groups.
