82
How does exercise influence the diffusing capacity in the lungs?
Physical training -> Larger lung volumes -> Increased SA between alveoli and capillaries -> Improved diffusion

87
Submax Exercise: What causes insulin to decline
Alpha adrenergic inhibition of pancreatic beta cells
88

Increases
90
Submax Exercise: Catecholamine increase will cause
