Document Summary

At the lungs: co2 leaves the blood (source) for the sink (the alveolar air, lowers the amount of carbonic acid in the blood, essentially the exact opposite of what happens at the tissue, law of mass action, this reaction will go in the direction where you have more ingredients, if you have more h20 + co2, the reaction will go towards carbonic acid and vice versa. If you go up in altitude, there is a change in respiration rate since there is less o2 in the atmosphere: also, if you hold your breathe, co2 levels build up, hyperventilation breathe more deeply/often than one needs to in order to satisfy the metabolic demands, breathing off co2 faster than you are producing it and taking in oxygen more quickly than you are consuming, sometime due to neurotic conditions, when you hyperventilate when you exercise, its called hyperpnea.
