It reveals that breathing patterns significantly change when inhaling a 92% oxygen and 8% carbon dioxide mix, while pure air or 100% oxygen has minimal effects. The discussion highlights carbon dioxide's critical role in stimulating ventilation and the carotid body's sensitivity to low oxygen levels at high altitudes.
