(a) Which mode of hyperventilation had the greatest effect on breath-holding ability?  (b) Using what you learned in IP: Control of Respiration, as well as IP: Gas Exchange, identify how hyperventilation affects PCO2 and plasma pH, and (c) how this change shifts the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve.  (d) At high elevations, the low partial pressure of oxygen causes a person to hyperventilate.  Given your answers to parts b and c, explain how and why high elevation affects the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity and its ability to deliver oxygen to the tissues.
