During hypoventilation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During hypoventilation, the person's levels of blood CO2 increase, which leads to an increase in the person's levels of blood H+ ions and a decrease in blood pH. Therefore, option E is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as hypoventilation means a decrease in breathing rate and depth. Option B is partially correct as it mentions an increase in blood CO2, but it is not the only effect of hypoventilation. Option C is also partially correct as it mentions an increase in blood H+ ions, but it does not account for the increase in CO2 levels. Option D is incorrect as it combines the effects of both hypoventilation and hyperventilation.
