The stimulus directly causing the reaction of removing excess water is blood volume increases. When blood volume increases, it can trigger the removal of excess water to help maintain homeostasis.
A reaction in this process (diagram above) is the removal of excess water. What was the stimulus directly causing this reaction?

When the level of carbon dioxide in the blood is too high, the excess carbon dioxide reacts with water and produces carbonic acid. The carbonic acid causes the pH to become more acidic. When the blood pH becomes too acidic, chemoreceptors in the brain instruct the body to react and maintain homeostasis in blood pH. Which of these responses by the body would eliminate the excess carbon dioxide and help maintain homeostasis in the blood pH?(1 point)
Responses
Breathing more deeply and frequently

Increasing body temperature by shivering

Decreasing the heart rate
Decreasing the heart rate
increasing glucose levels in the blood

The response by the body that would eliminate the excess carbon dioxide and help maintain homeostasis in blood pH is breathing more deeply and frequently. This response increases the rate of gas exchange, allowing more carbon dioxide to be expelled from the body, thus helping to regulate pH levels in the blood.
