The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "After taking a long deep breath we do not respire for some seconds due to," we will analyze the physiological processes that occur during and after a deep breath. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gas Exchange**: When we breathe, our body exchanges oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Oxygen is taken in from the air, and carbon dioxide is expelled from the body. 2. **Taking a Deep Breath**: During a long deep breath, we inhale a significant amount of air, which includes a higher concentration of oxygen. This leads to an increase in the oxygen levels in our blood. 3. **Oxygen Saturation**: Blood can only carry a maximum of 100% saturation of oxygen. When we take in more oxygen than the body needs, the hemoglobin in red blood cells becomes saturated with oxygen. 4. **Removal of Carbon Dioxide**: Along with the intake of oxygen, there is also a removal of carbon dioxide from the body. This process can lead to a temporary decrease in the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. 5. **Effects of Low Carbon Dioxide**: The body regulates breathing based on the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. A decrease in carbon dioxide levels (hypocapnia) can lead to a temporary cessation of the urge to breathe, as the body senses that there is less CO2 to expel. 6. **Conclusion**: After taking a long deep breath, the reason we do not respire for some seconds is due to the **less carbon dioxide in the blood**. The body temporarily pauses respiration to allow carbon dioxide levels to normalize. ### Final Answer: After taking a long deep breath, we do not respire for some seconds due to **less carbon dioxide in the blood**. ---
