Chapter 21, Problem 13MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A baby holding its breath will

(b) automatically start to breathe again when the carbon dioxide levels in the blood reach a high enough value,
(c) suffer heart damage because of increased pressure in the carotid sinus and aortic arch areas,
(d) be called a “blue baby.”

When individuals are hyperventilating, they are told to breathe into a paper bag or into their cupped hands. (a) Explain why this increases blood carbon dioxide levels. (b) What will this do to the breathing rate?
