Document Summary
Eqn 3050 - lecture 11 - feb 13/18. 2-2. 5 strides/sec is average: which gait is the most responsive to training? the trot; Respiration the process by which atmp is produced via oxygen. Breathing the process whereby gases are brought to the gas exchange surface and removed from it by bulk ow. The downward or upward position of forelimbs (piston) reduces and increases (respectively) the volume of thoracic cavity. Reduces the work of breathing: neuromuscular theory. Ie horse can choose coupling frequency according to nasal obstructions. Others (mainly argon) (0. 092%: expired air (~100% humidity) Why aren"t we doing a better job most doesn"t even get to gas exchange chamber we"re only able to take out about 3% of o2 from air everything except gas exchange surface is called dead space. Measuring respiratory function: minute ventilation (ve) - l/min. Total amount of air moving through the lung in one minute. Horses ~5-6l: breathing frequency (fr) - horses ~ 12bpm.
