division? - CORRECT ANSWERS- respiratory consists of alveoli and
other gas exchange regions
,conducting
-passages that serve only for airflow
-no gas exchange
-nostrils through the major bronchioles
what happens to pH and CO2 during hyperventilation and
hypoventilation? - CORRECT ANSWERS- hyper: increases pH and
decreases CO2
hypo: increases CO2 and decreaes pH
