A

7.35 - 7.45

80
Q

We breath after holding breath for a while in response to …

high CO2 levels (causing acidity), not due to low O2

81
Q

What part of brain controls respiration?

A

Medula Oblongata

82
Q

COPD

A

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

83
Q

in patients with COPD, what happens to blood pH

A

bodies become used to acidic levels (high CO2), so body adjusts and starts to be triggered to breathe by Hypoxia (low O) opposite from a healthy person

84

A

aka Agonal breathing . dying people. gasp for air, long exhale

91
Q
