Tidal volume graph
Steady increase
Plateu - breathing requires too much muscular effort
Breathing rate graph
Directly proportional
IC rest
Intercostal + phrenic nerve
Mechanics of breathing
EC rest
Inactive
IC exercise
Chemo - blood acidity and c02 Proprio - muscle activity Thermo - temperature Increased stimulation Sternomastecloid + pectoralis minor
EC exercise
Barro - lung inflamation
Internal intercostal and rectus abdominus
02 dissociation curve
Shifts to right in exercise Higher conc of pc02 Lower conc of p02 Increases diffusion gradient Haem has lower affinity Temp increase Blood acidity increase
