A

normal quiet breathing

37
Q

hypernea

A

increased respiratory rate/volume in response to increased metabolism
ex) exercise

38
Q

hyperventilation

A

increased respiratory rate/volume without increased metabolism
ex) emotional hyperventilation, blowing up a balloon
increased PO2
decreased PCO2

39
Q

difficulty breathing

ex) hard exercise and various pathologies

42
Q

apnea

A

cessation of breathing

ex) holding breath

43
Q

alveolar ventilation and blood flow

A

decrease in PO2 constricts pulmonary arteries

increase in PCO2 bronchodilation
