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
