Question

if there is an accumulation of acidic products in the plasma, one would expect ________. multiple choice apnea an increase in residual volume a decrease in respiration rate no influence on respiration rate an increase in respiration rate

Explanation:

When acidic products accumulate in plasma, it leads to acidosis. The body's respiratory - compensatory mechanism kicks in to expel carbon dioxide (a source of acidity when in the form of carbonic acid). This is achieved by increasing the respiration rate to blow off more carbon dioxide and help restore the body's pH balance.

Answer:

an increase in respiration rate
