In a state of hypercapnia, the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood causes the pH of the blood to drop, leading to a state of respiratory acidosis.

To achieve these functions, muscles and structures of the thorax create the mechanical movement of air into and out of the lungs called ventilation. For a detailed review of the respiratory system, common respiratory disorders, and related medications, visit the “Respiratory” chapter of the Open RN Nursing Pharmacology textbook.

The α chains, positioned on the outer surface of the membrane, consist of 735 amino acids each and contain the binding site for insulin. The β chains are integral membrane proteins, each composed of 620 amino acids.

Sometimes this process is called respiration but it is important not to confuse it with the chemical process, cellular respiration, that takes place in the mitochondria of cells. Breathing is brought about by the movement of the diaphragm and the ribs.

CSF is essential for neuronal function and has distinct electrolyte concentrations and a pH of about 7.3, influencing respiratory regulation. Additionally, CSF provides protection and waste removal by circulating from the ventricles to the subarachnoid space and being reabsorbed into the venous system through arachnoid granulations.
