How is blood flow related to lung function during exercise?
How is blood flow related to lung function during exercise?
Blood vessels are dilated to increase the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, and the lungs work harder to meet the body's oxygen demands.

Study Notes
Blood Flow and Lung Function
- Blood vessels dilate to enhance oxygen transportation during exercise.
- Increased lung activity is necessary to fulfill heightened oxygen demands of the body during physical exertion.
Heart Rate During Light Activity
- Heart rates are generally low when engaging in casual activities, like walking and laughing with friends.
Energy Conversion
- Physical exercise leads to the transformation of stored chemical energy into usable energy for muscle movement.
Breathing Changes During Exercise
- Both the rate and depth of breathing rise significantly during exercise to supply the body with adequate oxygen.
Modifying Activity for Heart Rate
- To maintain a safe heart rate while hiking, individuals should consider slowing down their pace, especially if struggling to converse.
