body is

You correctly answered: the chemical buffering system.

2 An increase in hydrogen ion concentration would

You correctly answered: decrease pH.

3 The amount of carbon dioxide in the blood is measured in

You correctly answered: mm Hg.

You correctly answered: carbonic anhydrase.

Experiment Results
Predict Question

1 Predict Question: What do you think will happen to the pH and PCO2 levels with
hyperventilation?

Your answer: pH will increase and PCO2 will decrease.

Stop & Think Questions

1 Were the pH and PCO2 in the normal range?

You correctly answered: Both pH and PCO2 were in the normal range.

2 What was the effect of returning to normal breathing after hyperventilation?

You correctly answered: The breathing stopped temporarily to retain carbon dioxide.

Hyperventilation then Normal Breathing

Post-lab Quiz Results

You scored 75% by answering 3 out of 4 questions correctly.

1 Hyperventilation results in

You correctly answered: respiratory alkalosis.

2 With hyperventilation, the higher peaks on the tracing indicate

Your answer: elevated carbon dioxide in the blood.

Correct answer: a larger volume of air.

3 Which of the following is not a potential cause of respiratory alkalosis?

You correctly answered: emphysema.

4 The kidneys can compensate for respiratory alkalosis by

You correctly answered: retaining H+ and excreting bicarbonate ion.

Review Sheet Results

1 Describe the normal ranges for pH and carbon dioxide in the blood.

Your answer:

Normal range pH content in blood is 7.35 - 7.45

Normal range carbon dioxide in blood is 35 - 45 mmHg.

2 Describe what happened to the pH and the carbon dioxide level with hyperventilation.
How well did the results compare with your prediction?

Your answer:

pH will increase and Pco2 will decrease .

Our prediction was correct, because based on our experiment result the condition of
hyperventilation was lower than the normal condition and for pH condition, pH of
i

hyperventilation was higher.

3 Explain how returning to normal breathing after hyperventilation differed from

hyperventilation without returning to normal breathing.

Your answer:

Hyperventilation is a condition when you start to breath very fast.

The breath stops temporarily to hold the carbon dioxide and return levels back of carbon
dioxide back to normal.

4 Describe some possible causes of respiratory alkalosis.

Your answer:

Some possible causes of respiratory alkalosis are fever, panic attack , anxiety , stress,
hyperventilation.
