Hyperventilation (Rapid Inhalation and Exhalation) Can Result in Respiratory Alkalosis

question 41

Multiple Choice

Hyperventilation (rapid inhalation and exhalation) can result in respiratory alkalosis (increased blood pH) . Why?

• A) Hyperventilation results in inefficient gas exchange, and not enough oxygen is absorbed by the blood.
• B) More metabolic waste is released into the blood, thus reducing the pH.
• C) Rapid breathing depletes the blood of carbon dioxide, thus the blood pH increases.
• D) Excess production of carbon dioxide decreases the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen.
