nerve stimulation of breathing begins in what part of the nervous system

maintaining of acid-base (pH) balance of the blood is maintained by what two organs
lungs and kidneys
increased carbon dioxide in the blood
hypercapnia
decreased carbon dioxide in the blood
hypocapnia
hypoventilation causes what with the acid-base balance
respiratory acidosis
hyperventilation causes what with the acid-base balance
respiratory alkalosis
oxygen inhaled from the air is exchanged with carbon dioxide from the blood
external respiration
exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells
internal respiration
separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity
diaphragm
membrane encases the lungs
