add example. 1  en The Amur Leopard (from the name of the river flowing at the border between Russia and China, or Far Eastern leopard, Panthera pardus orientalis) is quite certainly the rarest and most endangered big cat in the world because of a wild population of only 30 to 35 individuals [ 1 ].
The result is an. increase in carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia) in the blood. While either slow. breathing or shallow breathing may occur with hypoventilation, the rate or depth of. breathing is not diagnostic, since hypoventilation by definition only occurs if there is an. increase in carbon dioxide levels.
Blood pH is tightly regulated by a system of buffers that continuously maintain it in a normal range of 7.35 to 7.45 (slightly alkaline). Blood pH drop below 7 can lead to a coma and even death due to severe acidosis. This causes depression of the central nervous system.High blood pH (above 7.45) is called alkalosis.ence, breathing directly affects blood pH. In its turn, blood pH is tightly monitored within a very narrow range (from about 7.3 to 7.5) by the group of nerve cells located in the medulla oblongata in order to have normal-body biochemistry.
