19
Q

What is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is measured by the variation in the beat-to-beat internal. healthier hearts have greater variability than diseased hearts.

A

Heart Rate variability

20

Q

What is an imbalance between Lactate production and clearance, resulting in a rapid increase in blood La?

A

Lactate or anaerobic threshold

22
Q

What is the breathing response to the rise in La at the LT- increased CO2 production drives ventilation but O2 consumption stays constant?

A

Ventilatory Threshold

23
Q

What is the total volume of gas in liters exhaled from the lungs per minute?

A

Minute Ventilation

24
Q

What is the air volume moved either during inspiration or expiration of each breathing cycle?

A

Tidal Volume

25
Q

What is the rate of breathing over one minute called?

A

Respiratory Rate

26
Q

What is the volume of air which is inhaled that does not take part in the gas exchange, either because it remains in the conduction airways or reaches alveoli that are not perfused or poorly perfused called?

A

Ventilatory Dead space

27
Q

What is the maximal capacity of the lungs to move air over one minute called?

A

Maximal voluntary ventilation

28
