Respiratory Alkalosis

A condition characterized by a decrease in the carbon dioxide level in the blood, often due to rapid or deep breathing, leading to a pH imbalance where the blood becomes too alkaline.

Blood Ph

The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the blood, typically maintained within a tight range around a neutral pH of 7.4.

CO₂

Carbon dioxide, a colorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.

Vasoconstriction
