Carbon dioxide influences blood vessel tone throughout the body. When CO₂ levels rise slightly, blood vessels tend to dilate, increasing blood flow. When CO₂ levels fall, vessels may constrict, reducing blood flow. This regulatory effect plays a role in circulation and oxygen delivery, particularly in the brain. Cerebrovascular CO₂ reactivity refers specifically to the brain's ability to adjust blood flow in response to CO₂ changes.
