Which consequence results when impaired diaphragm function hinders periodic negative pressure?

A)Decreased alveolar ventilation and thus hypoxia
B)Increased carbon dioxide blood concentration
C)Elevated activity of parietal cells
D)Reduced enzymatic glycolysis throughout circulation

💡 Explanation

Reduced diaphragm function limits the negative pressure ventilation effectiveness, therefore the alveolar gas exchange diminishes. Because oxygen absorption decreases resulting in hypoxia, rather than changes in CO2 transport alone or affecting parietal cell/glycolysis activity.
