The chemoreceptor reflex for hyperventilation involves decreased CO2 levels raising pH, which lowers stimulatory input to the medulla's inspiratory area, decreasing breathing until CO2 normalizes.
El reflejo quimiorreceptor para la hiperventilación disminuye los niveles de CO2, lo que aumenta el pH y reduce el estímulo inspiratorio en el bulbo raquídeo, disminuyendo la respiración hasta que el CO2 se normalice.
