Hypoventilation Decreases the Respiratory Excretion Of

Question

Hypoventilation decreases the respiratory excretion of
A) oxygen.
B) water.
C) carbon dioxide.
D) albumin.

Accepted Answer

Hypoventilation results in a decreased respiratory rate and depth, which leads to a decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide being exhaled. This can cause a build-up of carbon dioxide in the body, leading to respiratory acidosis. Oxygen and water are not directly affected by hypoventilation, and albumin is not a respiratory waste product.
