A) Contraction of the external intercostal muscles
B) Elevation of the ribs
C) Increase in thoracic volume
D) Relaxation of the diaphragm
E) Widening of the costal margin
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?
