Study Notes
O2 Consumption, CO2 Production, and Ventilation
- Arterial blood has a higher Pao2 and lower Paco2 compared to venous blood
- Pulmonary blood flow increases during exercise, shifting the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to the right
- Despite increased CO2 production during exercise, PaCO2 remains normal due to increased ventilation
Muscle Metabolism during Exercise
- Phosphagens provide immediate energy (1 ATP) during exercise
- Glycolysis generates 2 ATP from glycogen through anaerobic respiration
- Oxidative phosphorylation generates 38 ATP from glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids through aerobic respiration
Oxygen Debt and EPOC
- Oxygen debt is the amount of extra oxygen required by muscle tissue during recovery from vigorous exercise
- EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) is another term for oxygen debt
- Oxygen debt is measured as the difference between oxygen required during exercise and at rest
- During exercise, oxygen deficit occurs when oxygen demand exceeds supply, leading to anaerobic respiration
Importance of Recovery
- Recovery is necessary for:
- ATP and creatine phosphate replacement
- Removal of accumulated lactic acid
- Myoglobulin replacement of O2
- Glycogen replacement
- Heart rate recovery
- Respiration recovery
Human Tolerance at Different Elevations
- At 12,000-15,000 feet, a normal person becomes lethargic and loses mental alertness
- At 23,000 feet, an unacclimatized person becomes comatose within 20-30 minutes
- With pure oxygen, a pilot can ascend to an altitude of about 47,000 feet
- Above 50,000 feet, an airplane should be pressurized
Respiratory Physiological Responses
- Respiratory response to exercise:
- Increase O2 consumption 10-20 times at rest
- Pulmonary hyperventilation
- Increased cardiac output
- Local vasodilation of muscles
- Shift of O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to the right
- Factors that stimulate breathing during exercise:
- Signals from cerebral and afferent signals from joint and muscle mechanoreceptors
- Increased plasma K+ and body temperature that stimulate peripheral chemoreceptors
