1.If metabolic rate decreases, what happens as a result tominute ventilation, and what function does this change serve?
2. If metabolic rate increases, what happens as a result to:
           a. the amount of oxygen consumed by tissues?
           b. the amount of carbon dioxide produced by tissues?
           c. the PO2 of systemic venous blood plasma (i.e. mixed venousblood)?
           d. the PCO2 of systemic venous blood plasma (i.e. mixed venousblood)?
           e. the bicarbonate concentration of systemic venous blood plasma(i.e. mixed venous blood)?
           f. the chloride concentration of systemic venous blood plasma (i.e.mixed venous blood)?
