Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

How does the body respond to increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood?
  • Step 1: The body detects higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood.
  • Step 2: Special sensors in the brain and blood vessels notice the increase in CO2.
  • Step 3: The brain sends signals to the respiratory system to react.
  • Step 4: The respiratory rate (how fast you breathe) increases.
  • Step 5: You breathe faster and deeper to get rid of the excess CO2.
  • Step 6: As you breathe out more CO2, the levels in the blood decrease.
  • Respiratory Regulation – The body's mechanism to regulate breathing in response to changes in carbon dioxide levels.
  • Homeostasis – The process by which the body maintains stable internal conditions despite external changes.
