when you exercises, or have a decrease in the access to oxygen, would you expect your respiration rate to increase or decrease? | increase |
Why would your respiration rate increase when you are oxygen deprived? | your body is trying to get access to more O2 and get rid of accumulating CO2 to stay in homeostasis |

smaller branched airways to get air to different part of lungs | bronchioles |
