What prevents cardiovascular,respiratory and endocrine systems from over-compensating during exercise?

0

Compensation implies restoring something to normalcy. It’s like the pH in your blood. Normal pH for arterial blood is 7.35-7.45. If your CO2 goes up, let’s say because of respiratory failure, your blood would become more acidotic and that would prompt the level of Bicarbonate to increase and increase your breathing rate to compensate and bring the pH back to a more normal state. Once it achieves it’s goal then there is no more reason for compensation. Ok, during exercise your heart rate increases and you breathe faster. Both are in response to an increased demand of your muscles because they need more oxygen and need to get rid of waste products.Once they get what they need the stimulus to compensate is gone. Hope I’ve explained it well enough.
