Question
Chapter 48.5, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The changes in respiratory motor neurons and respiratory muscle groups of an individual occurring when the breathing pattern changes from normal to breathing that uses more of lungs capacity.
Introduction:
The central nervous system (CNS) of body controls the involuntary breathing actions. The rates at which the person inhale or exhale changes according to the requirements of body. During strenuous work, breathing rates are elevated and kept normal when the body is at rest. There are various changes that take place in motor neurons and respiratory muscles with respect to the change in requirements of oxygen by the body.

One technique for artificial respiration is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The rescuer takes a deep breath, blows air into the patient’smouth, and then lets air flow out. The process is repeated. Explain thefollowing: (1) Why do the patient’s lungs expand? (2) Why does airmove out of the patient’s lungs? (3) What effect do the Po2 and thePco2 of the rescuer’s air have on the victim?
How does an uncoupler of respiration work?
The ventral respiratory group functions in
Choose from the following:
(A) normal inspiration / forced expiration
(B) forced inspiration / passive expiration
(C) forced inspiration / forced expiration

Suppose the person exercises, so that tidal volume increases to 4000 mL, dead space increases to 300 mL due to dilation of the respiratory passageways, and respiratory rate increases to 24 breaths per minute. What is the alveolar ventilation then? How is the change in alveolar ventilation beneficial for doing exercise?arrow_forward
