Melanin a dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight. Hyperventilation Alveolar ventilation that exceeds metabolic demand. The lungs remove CO2 at a higher rate than it is produced by cellular metabolism, resulting in decreased Paco2. Causes respiratory alkalosis. hypoventilation Inadequate alveolar ventilation in relation to metabolic demands. Occurs when the volume is reduce...
