Dehydration and respiratory rate are related. Dehydration has been shown to increase the rate of respiratory rate in several species. This is due to the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in controlling the rate of breathing in response to various physiological conditions. In general, the ANS is responsible for regulating the rate and…
