Q
What is used to represent ventilation or breathing rates?
A
a spirometer trace
2
Q
What is the tidal volume?
A
volume of air breathed in or out per breath at rest
3
Q
What is the breathing / ventilation rate?
A
number of breaths per minute
4
Q
What is the formula to calculate the total volume of air breathed in one minute?
A
tidal volume x breathing rate
5
Q
What is oxygen consumption?
A
volume of oxygen used per minute
6
Q
What is the effect of exercise in tidal volume, breathing rate, and rate of oxygen consumption?
A
tidal volume - increase (deeper breaths)
breathing rate - increase (faster breaths)
rate of oxygen consumption - increases more respiration
