A. increased level of oxygen in the blood
B. decreased level of oxygen in the blood
C. increased level of carbon dioxide in blood
D. decreased level of carbon dioxide in blood - (answer)C. increased level of
carbon dioxide in blood
,Under control of the brain stem, rising levels of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood
normally stimulate breathing in an otherwise healthy patient.
