How will an increased respiratory rate and depth affect acid

As the respiratory rate increases or becomes deeper, additional CO2 is removed causing decreased acid (H+) levels in the blood and increased pH (so the blood becomes more alkaline).

How does the respiratory system affect acid

The pulmonary system adjusts pH using carbon dioxide; upon expiration, carbon dioxide is projected into the environment. Due to carbon dioxide forming carbonic acid in the body when combining with water, the amount of carbon dioxide expired can cause pH to increase or decrease.

How does the respiratory system regulate acid

How does the respiratory system regulate acid-base balance? If increased amounts of CO2 or H+ are present, the respiratory center stimulates an increased rate and depth of breathing (hyperventilation). If the center senses low H+ or CO2 levels, respirations are inhibited (hypoventilation).

How do changes in pH affect respiratory rate and depth?

Increased hydrogen ions and a decreased pH will increase the rate and depth of breathing to increase the rate of carbon dioxide loss during exhalation. The central chemoreceptors are responsible for the majority of this effect because, in the blood, hydrogen ions are buffered by hemoglobin.
