What is the chemical reaction and purpose of deep breathing
chemical reactions during deep breathing are modulated by chemoreflexes that maintain constant arterial blood gases and pH1. Breathing uses chemical and mechanical processes to bring oxygen to every cell of the body and get rid of carbon dioxide2. Central and peripheral chemoreceptors, as well as mechanoreceptors in the lungs, convey neural and sensory input to the brain to help modulate respiratory drive3. Respiratory chemistry refers to the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which drives breathing4. Chemical regulation of breathing is part of the involuntary control of breathing to maintain an appropriate balance and concentration of CO2, O2, HCO3-, and pH5.
