Study Notes
Respiratory Regulation during Exercise
- Cells during exercise increase O2 consumption and CO2 production by 20-fold.
- Pulmonary ventilation and perfusion increase to meet the demand for O2 and remove excess CO2.
- Pulmonary ventilation is controlled by neurogenic impulses to the respiratory centers in the brainstem.
Blood Gases and Exercise
- Pulmonary ventilation is well adjusted to metabolic demands during light to moderate exercise.
- Arterial PO2, PCO2, and H+ values remain unchanged during light to moderate exercise.
- Severe sustained exercise can cause lactic acid buildup, and a drop in pH (to 7.2), resulting in hyperventilation.
Muscle, Tendons, and Joint Receptors
- Impulses from proprioceptors in muscles, tendons, and joints stimulate respiratory centers during movement.
Higher Brain Centers
- As exercise begins, brain impulses to muscles and collateral impulses stimulate respiratory centers (RC).
- Experienced athletes experience increased respiration before the actual start of exercise (conditioned reflexes).
Increased Tissue Metabolism and Temperature
- Increased tissue metabolism and temperature stimulate respiratory centers (via impulses to the hypothalamus).
Increased Venous Return
- Increased venous return stimulates cardiac mechanoreceptors in the right atrium, which stimulate respiration.
Norepinephrine
- Norepinephrine released from the sympathetic nervous system stimulates respiratory centers (RC).
Oxygen Supply to Muscles
- Oxygen supply to muscles is also increased through gas diffusion, shifting the O2 dissociation curve (to the right) and increasing cardiac output.
