Question
Answer
Name the structures in the lungs that help gas exchange   Large surface area / thin capillary walls / moist surface / extensive network of blood vessels  
🗑
Name the muscle that contract during inspiration   External intercostals muscles diaphragm  
🗑
Name the muscles that aid expiration during exercise   Internal intercostal muscles abdominals  
🗑
What is tidal volume?   The air breathed in or out per breathe  
🗑
How does breating rate increase?   Tidal volume increases by utilizing the expiratory and inspiratory reserve volumes / breathing rate increases  
🗑
What is the purpose of residual volume?   Air that remains in the lungs after max expiration and stops lungs from collapsing  
🗑
What is the equation for minute ventilation(VE)   VE= Tidal volume x breathing rate  
🗑
What happens to minute ventilation during sub maximal exercise?   It will increase then plateau as demand for oxygen is being met by ventilation rate  
🗑
What happens to inspiratory reserve volume during exercise   It reduces to allow tidal volume to increase  
🗑
What happens to expiratory reserve volume during exercise   It reduces to allow tidal volume to increase  
🗑
What sends messages to the brain to increase breathing rate?   Chemoreceptors, proprioceptors and thermoreceptors  
🗑
What nerves are used to increase breathing rate   phrenic and intercostal muscles  
🗑
What do the accessory muscles do?   Lift the ribcage higher to allow more air to be taken into the lungs  
🗑
What do the internal intercostal muscles and abdominals muscle do during exercise?   Contract and pull the ribcage down quickly which allows the frequency of breathing to increase.
