How does the respiratory system help maintain homeostasis?

1. High Co2

2. signal sent to respiratory control center

3. The diaphragm acts to increases breathing

4. The lungs bring in O2 and release CO2.

5. The decrease in CO2 reestablishes homeostasis

Explanation:

The respiratory system is an example negative feedback

High Co2 --> a signal is sent to the respiratory control center to increase breathing. --> The diaphragm acts to increases breathing.  The lungs bring in O2 and release CO2. The decrease in CO2 reestablishes homeostasis

small, big, or no change could occur in the phenotype. it could cause something as simple as a cats ears to curl backwards or something as frighting as death. it could also occur in the protien-coding area and have an effect on that but no effect on the amino acids. what has to occur is a changing in the hox gene or the control gene.
