27
Q

the ____ _____ventilation at the start of exercise. Due to?

A

increase ventilation : is due to neural changes that send excitatory impulses to the inspiratory area in the medulla oblongata

Q

With ___ _____ the airways and tissues of the respiratory tract, including the alveoli, become ___ ____

A

advanced aging: less elastic and more rigid.

The result is a decrease in lung capacity.
