recoil so exhalation would be impeded
Carbon dioxide has a solubility coefficient 24 times higher than oxygen. This means that carbon dioxide…

decrease, increase
Why is the partial pressure of water PH2O of 47mmHg in both alveolar and expired air
The air in the respiratory tract is humidified to 100% saturation of water

Why do chemoreceptors not react for people with thalassemia or sickle cell anemia to provide adequate o2 to tissues
Chemoreceptors only monitor dissolved o2 in the blood and that remains unchanged for those with anemia
What is the effect called when hemoglobin that has released o2 binds more readily to co2 than hemoglobin that is highly saturated with o2
Haldane effect
When you are exercising, your rate of breathing because…
