Responses (5) + Adaptations (3) of Respiratory System

Question 1

State the 5 responses to the respiratory system

Answer 1

Increased tidal volume
Increased breathing rate
Increased O2
Increased CO2
Increased diffusion

Question 2

State the 3 adaptations to the respiratory system

Answer 2

Increased diffusion rate
Increased Vital Capacity
Increase in Int & Ext respiratory muscles

Question 3

Define increased tidal volume

Answer 3

Tidal volume is the amount of air you breathe with each breath. So as you exercise, you breathe in and out more

Question 4

Define increased breathing rate

Answer 4

As you exercise more, your body will require more oxygen. So it breathes in and out more.

Question 5

Define increased diffusion rate

Answer 5

More molecules will be able to go from an area of high concentration to a low concentration

Question 6

Define increased vital capacity

Answer 6

The maximum amount of air that someone can breathe out after breathing in as much as possible
