2) As exercise intensity increases, the respiratory systemincreases oxygen delivery to the body via the lungs by up to 10 to20-fold. Answer the following questions to help you understand howthis increase in oxygen delivery occurs (1 point each)
A. What are simple ways to increase ventilation to the lungs(i.e. change minute ventilation)?
B. How can the volume of oxygen delivery to the blood beincreased without increasing lung ventilation?
C. Describe how the following factors alveolar ventilation. Deadspace Airway resistance Compliance (or lack thereof) of thelung/chest
D. Given these effects, which of the following two strategieswould be best for increasing alveolar ventilation: Larger tidalvolumes Higher breathing frequency Explain.
E. Based on your answers to questions A and C, form a hypothesisfor how you think respiration will change at the onset of exercisein order to increase alveolar ventilation. Briefly explain why.
