Document Summary

F gas = fractions of a g as. P gas =pressure of gas in any given container. Know fraction of gas in the air for test. Inside our body we use o2 and produce co2 ( use it to make energy): someone says yhou increase your metabolism you increased your energy. To increase metabolism we increase co2 production and o2 usage and we match it to ventilation rate. --metabolic rate doesn"t change but ventilation changes (its increased ) hyper ventilation (drop in carbon dioxide and increase in oxygen) -ventilation is the same, metabolic rate changes, metabolic rate its not keeping up with ventilation (increase in co2 in aleveoli and drop in o2) -last graph= increased metabolic rate you don"t keep ventilation constant (you allow it to change) and as you see as metabolic rate goes up ventilation goes up (straight line) For us we strive to maintain oxygen and co2 the same.
