respiratory adaptations Flashcards
1
Q
Lung adaptation
A
Vital capacity and tidal volume will increase allowing for deeper and O2 rich breath
2
Q
how does an increased of respiratory muscles impact breathing
A
an increase in strength allows the external intercostal muscles greater contraction and there greater flexion during inspiration forcing more air in.
3
Q
How does decreased respiratory rate impact breathing
A
a decrease in respiratory rate helps breathing by having a increased volume of air meaning less breaths are taken per minute
