What effect does blood CO2 level have on blood pH?
Adi S.
When blood pH falls too low, a potentially fatal condition known as acidosis results, Among the variety of responses to this condition, the body changes the breathing rate. How does the body sense this change? How does the breathing rate change? How does this increase pH?
