and expiration is:
Answer:
tidal volume.Question 25: 2. Which type of breathing is characterized by repeated sequences of deep gasps and apnea, and is usually seen in people with increased intracranial pressure?
Answer:
Biot's breathing Question 26: If a person were skiing high up in the mountains, she might feel that she is having
trouble breathing (getting enough oxygen in her blood). This is because the:

lower atmospheric pressure lowers the PO2 and the diffusion gradient between the blood and the atmosphere is less.Question 27: The major form by which carbon dioxide is transported in the circulatory system
is:
Answer:
as bicarbonate ions.
