Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary regulator of breathing rate?
  • Step 1: Understand that breathing is controlled by the body to get enough oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
  • Step 2: Know that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product produced when our body uses oxygen.
  • Step 3: Realize that when CO2 levels in the blood increase, it signals the body to breathe more to get rid of the excess CO2.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this increase in breathing rate is called 'respiratory drive.'
  • Step 5: Conclude that the primary regulator of how fast we breathe is the level of carbon dioxide in our blood.
