- Exercise Effects
- hyperpnea - increase in DEPTH, not rate
- steady state - increase in RATE and DEPTH gradually altered to MATCH gas exchange needs
- conscious awareness of exercise
- cortex stimulates muscles & respiratory center
- proprioceptors in muscles, tendons, joints
- Altitude Effects
- acclimatization - physiological adaptation to lower Oxygen content at higher altitude
- body "set-points" for Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide will reset over a period of time
