Question

how to adjust the heart and respiration rates if the bodys oxygen level drops too low?
a decrease heart rate and respiration rate
b increase heart rate and decrease respiration date
c increase heart rate and respiration rate
d decrease heart rate and increase respiration rate

Answer 1

If the body's oxygen level drops too low (a condition known as hypoxia), the body typically compensates by increasing both heart rate and respiration rate to enhance oxygen delivery to tissues and improve oxygen intake. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**c increase heart rate and respiration rate**
