Pulmonary function limits physical performance because transit time through the pulmonary capillaries is reduced to 0.4 seconds during maximal exercise which is not enough time for complete oxygenation of the blood.
Oxygen binds to the globin portion of the hemoglobin molecule.
HCO3- diffuses out to plasma at tissue level and chloride (Cl-) into the RBC, known as chloride shift.
Carbonic anhydrase is present in the RBC and catalyzes the formation of lactate.
During exercise, tidal volume does not change relative to tidal volume at rest
Alveoli are the lung structure where gas exchange takes place.
Partial pressure of a specific gas affects the driving force behind that gas.
The immediate and largest increase in ventilation during exercise is due to changes to chemistry of arterial blood.
An increase in pH is in part responsible for the Bohr effect.
Inhalation is an active process, it involves contraction of the diaphragm.
Cooperative binding refers to the ease at which O2 binds to Hb with each subsequent O2.
HCO3- (bicarbonate) accounts for the majority of CO2 transport.
