Discuss the relationship between CO2 and pH and their effect onminute ventilation. 2. Discuss how inhaling increased amounts ofCO2 affects pulmonary ventilation. 3. Discuss how inhalingdecreased amounts of O2 affects pulmonary ventilation. 4. Discusshow plasma pH affects the hemoglobin saturation curves and theamount of oxygen delivered to the tissues. 5. Restate yourpredictions that were correct, and give data from your experimentthat support them. Restate your predictions that were not correct,and correct them with supporting data from your experiment.APPLICATION A small child announces to her parents that she isgoing to hold her breath until they let her watch more television.1. Explain how the child's blood carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, andbicarbonate ions levels change during breath holding. 2. If shecontinues to hold her breath, will she pass out? Explain.
