Explain how the respiratory mechanism would function to lower PH
Definition
To lower blood PH, the respiratory mechanism would slow down pulmonary ventilation to less carbon dioxide is expelled from the lungs. Blood carbon dioxide levels increase, thereby increasing the level of hydrogen ions and decreasing blood PH.
