|
|
What is Oxygenation?
|
refers to the movement of carbon dioxide in and out of the lungs, Oxygenation is a seperate but somewhat related, process. For EX: a person may hperventilate, causing a decrease in the carbon dioxide level in the blood (respiratory alkalosis) but no change in the level of oxygen.

|
|
Respiratory Acidosis?
|
The lack of blowing off carbon dioxide by the lungs and gas is then retained in the blood causing a build-up of acid.
|
|
|
Respiratory Alkalosis?
|

|
|
|
Respiratory System?
