The chemoreceptor reflex for hypoventilation involves increased CO2 levels lowering pH, which stimulates the medulla to increase breathing depth and rate to return CO2 to normal.
El reflejo quimiorreceptor para la hipoventilación aumenta los niveles de CO2, lo que disminuye el pH y estimula al bulbo raquídeo a aumentar la profundidad y la frecuencia respiratoria para normalizar el CO2.

| Back | 1. Increased levels of CO2 lowers pH of blood and CSF 2. Low pH triggers medulla to increase depth and rate of breathing 3. This returns levels of CO2 back to normal |
