how do you measure expired and inspired O2
douglas bag technique
26
how does a calorimeter work
a subject is placed in a chamber surrounded by an insulated water jacket thermometers in the water jacket measure temp change in the water using heat of water and mass of water,, the heat loss (C) from the subject to the walls of the chamber is calculated
27
how does douglas bag technique work
a subject breathes through a mouthpiece attached to two way valve (Daniel's Valve) that allows entry of atmospheric air to be inspired and removes expired air through the other side volume of air expired (Ve) is collected into plastic Douglas bags and analyzed for concentrations of fractional expired O2 (FeO2) and CO2 (FeCO2) via gas anyalysis machines (PARVO)

33
how many kcal yielded per LO2 in combustion of a mixed diet
4.98 kcal*LO2-1

how many kcal yielded per LO2 in combustion of a starving individual
4.851 kcal*LO2-1
35
how are calories quantified in this lab
kcal
36
what unit does the calorimeter measure heat
in calories
37
increased work rate requires
increased rate of EE
38
indirect calorimetry is used
in aerobic metabolism in order to determine metabolic rate from O2 uptake
39
indirect calorimetry measures
O2 consumption only from oxidative pathways
40
is the human machine 100% efficient
NO some energy is lost as heat
41
key characteristics of VE
saturated with water vapor and is at an ambient temp and pressure (ATPS) making comparisons under different environmental conditions difficult
42
main accomplishment of DIRECT calorimetry
provide a DIRECT measurement of all heat production in the body including both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism
43
main component of TDEE
basal metabolic rate (BMR)
44
metabolic power
rate of energy expenditure required to maintain this specific mechanical work rate)
45

48
normal values for ME in humans
0-30% depending on intensity, exercise type, muscle fiber type, etc
49
open circuit spirometry
determines the rate of O2 uptake (VO2) by subtracting the inspired O2 (VIO2) minus expired O2 (VeO2)
50
