HR and BP spike during
Submax level
The purposes of breathing are: (4)
- Exchange of O2
- Exchange of CO2
- Control of blood acidity
- Oral communication
O2 and CO2 are exchanged between atmosphere and blood in the _______
Alveoli
Process of ventilation results in higher _____ in the lungs than in the metabolizing tissues
PO2
Speed and depth of breathing affects the amount of ____ and ____ exchanged between body and atmosphere
O2 and CO2
________ is the movement of air in and out of the lungs
Ventilation
_____ is the cellular utilization of O2
Respiration
Inspiration and expiration are regulated in 2 ways:
- Frequency
2. Volume
VDS = ______ (other name)= ______ mL
Dead space = 150 mL
VA = _______ = _______ (formula)
Alveolar Ventilation = (VT-VDS)xF
VT = _______ = _______ (formula)
Tidal Volume = VA + VDS (OR VE/F)
VE = _______ = _______ (formula)
Minute ventilation = VT x BF
What is the VE at rest? Max Ex (Athletes) Max Ex (Elite) Increase (Athletes) Increase (Elite)
Rest: 6 L/min Max Ex (A): 100 Max Ex (E): 192 Increase (A): 17x Increase (E): 32x
What is the VT at rest? Max Ex (Athletes) Max Ex (Elite) Increase (Athletes) Increase (Elite)
Rest: 0.5 V/B Max ex (A): 2.0 Max ex (E): 4.0 Increase (A): 4x Increase (E): 8x
What is the Breathing Frequency (FB/min) at rest? Max Ex (Athletes) Max Ex (Elite) Increase (Athletes) Increase (Elite)
Rest: 12 FB/min Max ex (A): 48 Max ex (E): 0-70 Increase (A): 4x Increase (E): 5x
Efficiency of breathing: True or false
- It is more efficient to breathe shallow and more often (Decrease VT and increase F)
FALSE!
It is more efficient to breathe DEEP and LESS OFTEN (INCREASE VT and DECREASE F)
Efficiency of Breathing: T/F
- Respiratory muscles consume O2 for work of breathing, thus more o2 for exercising muscles
FALSE!
Respiratory muscles consume O2 for work of breathing, thus LESS O2 for exercising muscles
Efficiency of breathing: T/F
- The body chooses the most efficient way to breathe normally
TRUE!
Control of Ventilation:
Rate and depth of breathing are adjusted in response to body’s _______ needs
Metabolic
Control of Ventilation: In healthy individuals, ______, _____, and _____ are essentially regulated at resting values regardless of the exercise intensity.
PaO2, PaCO2, pH

Inhalation is _____ process, exhalation is ______ process
Active
Passive
Pulmonary ventilation at rest is regulated by _________

Increase ventilation
Only the _______ protect against decreases in PaO2
Peripheral chemoreceptors
Peripheral chemoreceptors stimulate ventilation in response to increases in _______, temperature, metabolic _______, _______ in BP, changes in H+, and exercise
Increases in PaCO2
Metabolic Acidosis
Decrease in BP
At rest, most important stimulus for HEALTHY person free of lung disease is ______ pressure (small increases in ______ cause large changes in ______)
CO2
PaCO2
VE
In patients with COPD, the low _____ stimulates them to breathe (hypoxia drive), thus protecting them from arterial hypoxia
O2
What is hyperpnea?

What helps to regulate exercise hyperpnea and protect against arterial hypoxia in ascent to higher altitudes?
Peripheral chemoreceptors
Central chemoreceptors are located with the ______ and respond to increases in _____ and _____.
Medulla
PaCO2
H+
T/F: chemical stimulation does fully accounts for the increase in ventilation during PA
FALSE
Phase 1 of ventilation during exercise is aka ______

Phase I is controlled by neurogenic stimuli from cerebral cortex combined with feedback from active limbs stimulates medulla to abruptly ________ ventilation.
After 20 second pause, ________ rises exponentially
Increase
VE
Phase II ventilation during exercise is aka ______
Rise to Steady State
What happens in Phase II of ventilation during exercise?
Ventilation continues to rise until reaches steady state in relation to demands for metabolic gas exchange
What causes person to stop exercising during steady state?
Usually RPE
Phase II is regulated by cerebral cortex and factors intrinsic to neurons of respiratory control center. Likely that input from ______ is provided.
Peripheral chemoreceptors
Phase III ventilation during exercise is aka _____
Steady state
Fine tuning of steady state is through ______ and ______
Peripheral chemoreceptors and cerebral cortex

Last phase of ventilation during exercise is ____
Recovery
Initial rapid decrease due to abrupt removal of cerebral cortex and stopping movement is ____
