What is the purpose of regulating minute ventilation?

To control heart rate

To maintain arterial blood gases and stabilize pH (correct)

To control digestion

To regulate body temperature

Minute ventilation refers to the:

Volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath

Rate at which the heart pumps blood

Amount of oxygen in the blood

Rate and depth of breathing (correct)

Chronic hypoventilation is characterized by:

Reduced tidal volume and rate

Hypercapnia

Normal pH as compensation mechanisms initiated - Increased in bicarbonate levels

All of the above (correct)
