1.Name the major stimulus for inspiration.

2. How do elevated carbon dioxide levels alter serum pH and respiratory pattern?

3. State the normal serum pH and describe how compensation for decreased serum pH due to a respiratory impairment is achieved.

4. Describe how acidosis affects the central nervous system and give two physiologic signs of this condition.
