Abstract
The drop in alveolar CO2 (Haldane-Priestley method) upon standing is accompanied by a rise in blood pH indicating both are due to overventilation. This stimulation of respiration is not due to increased temp. of the body on standing, but is probably caused by diminished blood supply to the head or lowered pressure in the carotid sinuses.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
