What is CO2 Maintenance (How does exercise affect blood pH? (In response…

- - - - Arterial and Venous blood consist of different optimum pH levels, arterial being 7.36 and venous being about 7.40, mainly due to dissolved gases in the blood.
    - - Both of these ways of testing pH would be undertaking pH paper where the saliva or blood is placed on the pH paper and the colour that the paper changes to is then tested against the pH scale and either the acidity or alkalinity is recorded
- - - - High intensity exercise causes more carbon dioxide to be produced and therefore the rate at which carbon dioxide is expired increases to allow CO2 concentration of the blood to be maintained
      - Examples include of high intensity activities include; circuit training, vigorous forms of weight training, and moderate-intensity exercises at a heart-pounding pace.
    - - Low intensity exercise causes less carbon dioxide to be produced, therefore the rate at which CO2 is removed is not ass fast, therefore respiritory rate is slower and blood pH
  - - - This will effect the rate at which CO2 is removed from the body therefore effecting the pH of the blood
- - - - This has many limitations to the accuracy of the reading given due to other microbes and bacterias adn factors that affect the pH of saliva.
  - - - There are ethical concerns surrounding this experiment, such as human actions towards the rats
