Question

Hyperventilation involves a series of deep and rapid exhalations that lower the blood’s carbon dioxide concentrations. Using the figure, which of the following BEST predicts what changes might occur in the circulatory system following hyperventilation?

Question 15 options:

The pH of the blood at position 8 would increase (become less acidic)

The pH of the blood would decrease (become more acidic) in ALL positions

The pH of the blood at position 10 would increase (become less acidic)

The pH of the blood at position 5 would decrease (become more acidic)

The pH of the blood at position 4 would decrease (become more acidic)

The pH of the blood at position 8 would increase (become less acidic)

The pH of the blood would decrease (become more acidic) in ALL positions

The pH of the blood at position 10 would increase (become less acidic)

The pH of the blood at position 5 would decrease (become more acidic)

The pH of the blood at position 4 would decrease (become more acidic)

Right side 10 Left side 6

Explanation / Answer

Option A and C is correct

The pH of the blood at position 10 would increase (become less acidic)

because the Hyperventilation lead to decrease in CO2 concentration in Artrial blood,Alveoli and venus blood that means reducing the acidity so increasing in PH.
