While explanation includes the particular covered by a general law, decoding substitutes one element ____ another in accordance with a rule that may be individual to the particular case:

Carbon dioxide is ____ powerful regulator of breathing (it acts on a different set of chemoreceptors, found in the brain) and if its concentration in the blood falls, breathing is inhibited.
It is possible to demonstrate this for yourself. You will find you are able to ____ your breath for longer if you breathe very rapidly for a short time beforehand.

The opposing drives from oxygen and carbon dioxide explain why no change in breathing occurs at altitudes ____ less than 3000 metres.
