Question

Consider breathing patterns in a person that is resting, exercising and one that has a collapsed lung. Draw and label a spirogram showing respiratory activity in a resting person. Draw and label a spirogram in this same person during exercise.

Answer 1

During rest, the spirogram shows normal respiratory pattern. During exercise, the spirogram shows increased respiratory activity and a higher volume of air in the lungs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a resting person, the spirogram will show a normal respiratory pattern. The spirogram will have a baseline representing the volume of air in the lungs at rest. During exercise, the spirogram will show increased respiratory activity with higher peaks and more rapid breathing. The volume of air in the lungs will also increase during exercise.
