At the end of an exhalation
Exchange of gases continue at the alveoli
In the highly trained individuals over 30 minutes are the pulmonary capillaries more or less efficient than necessary for optimal gas exchange?
Pulmonary capillaries can be less efficient than necessary for optimal gas exchange
What are the receptors called that respond to chemical changes body
Chemoreceptors respond to chemical changes body
The respiratory muscles do not adapt to train true or false
False respiratory muscles do adapt to training
Why is carbon dioxide able to diffuse across respiratory and cellular membranes with smaller partial pressures differences than oxygen
The membranes are more permeable to carbon dioxide than oxygen
For an untrained healthy adults the oxygen cost reading under best conditions is
3 to 5% of total oxygen consumption
What are saclike structures surrounded by capillaries where gas exchange takes place
Alveoli
Under normal conditions ventilation is controlled
Primarily by the partial pressure of carbon dioxide
The major function of the pulmonary respiratory system is to
Exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen between the air in the lungs and the blood
Airflow between two areas the ventilatory pathway depends on
Pressure differences between the two areas. The diameter of the airway. Resistance to flow between the two areas.
True or false. Pulmonary ventilation is affected by stretch receptors in the lungs diaphragm and abdomen
True
Carbon dioxide is transported how
Dissolved in plasma. Bound to hemoglobin. As bicarbonate.
Pulmonary ventilation receives neural from
Proprioceptor’s in skeletal muscles and joints
The peripheral chemoreceptors that help regulate ventilation
Are especially responsive to carbon dioxide
During exercise there are higher requirements for oxygen delivery to the blood carbon dioxide this is achieved through
Increased cardiac output. Increased capillary gas exchange at the alveoli and muscle tissue. Redistribution of blood flow.
According to the Bohr effect hydrogen ions produced during intense exercise can bind the hemoglobin shifting the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve to the right and increasing the availability of oxygen active tissue
True
What are the three phases of pulmonary ventilation control at the start of sub-maximal to work
Increased ventilation due to input from higher brain centers and active muscle. Plateauing a ventilation due to predominantly input from peripheral chemoreceptors and central chemoreceptors. Increased ventilation due to continued motor cortex activity, muscle feedback, and peripheral chemoreceptors
During endurance exercise what helps to elevate the ribs
Accessory muscles, such as intercostal muscles, help to elevate the ribs
Myoglobin
Is responsible for the color of dark meat. Transport oxygen from the cell membrane to mitochondria. Is a molecule similar to hemoglobin.
True or false more than 98% of the oxygen transported in the blood is chemically bound to hemoglobin
True
Nasal passages and structures prior to the respiratory bronchioles
Protect the alveoli from damage
During transition to exercise, the first ventilatory response is to increase
Tidal volume
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood in the body’s tissues is referred to as
Capillary gas exchange
What is the most important muscle of inspiration
Diaphragm
