Hello, May I get help on this question very soon please? I do not understand it. Question: You're talking to one of your grandparents on the phone, and they are telling you about some really neat things they just learned about the lungs on a documentary. Specifically, they are telling you about this really cool feedback loop where lower in CO2 in the blood in near skeletal muscles than usual to leads your brain to trigger a whole bunch of responses in how you breathe. They mention about how your medulla tells your systemic arterioles to constrict, for your external intercostals to contract less, and your lung muscles to contract less. You tell them how much you love to hear that they are learning about the respiratory system, but you gently note that the documentary must have got one thing wrong. The documentary was incorrect because (see image)
