the CO2 is the vasodilatory metabolite that regulate the flow rate.
so if hypoventilation occur means CO2 increases that also increases the cerebral flow.
and if hyperventilation the CO2 will decrease and cerebral flow will be decrease.
thanx and good luck for exam.

agree but just to make a point that its not actually CO2 rather absence of O2 (hypoxia) that cause pulm vasocontriction
