What is the main purpose of respiration in humans?
To provide energy for
bodily functions
View source
What are the two types of respiration mentioned?
Aerobic
and
anaerobic
respiration
View source
Why does the body need more energy during exercise?
For
muscle contraction
and increased activity
View source
How does the body respond to increased energy demand during exercise?
By increasing
aerobic respiration
and
oxygen intake
View source
What happens to the breathing rate during exercise?
It increases to supply more
oxygen
View source
What is the role of the heart during exercise?
To pump
oxygenated
blood around the body
View source
What problem can occur when exercising hard?
Not enough
oxygen
can reach the
muscles
View source
What is produced during anaerobic respiration?
Lactic acid
View source
What effect does lactic acid have on muscles?
It causes muscle
fatigue
and
inefficiency
View source
What is the condition called when lactic acid accumulates in muscles?
Oxygen debt
View source
How is lactic acid removed from the muscles?
It is
transported
out by the blood
View source
Where is lactic acid taken after being transported out of the muscles?
To the
liver
for conversion back to
glucose
View source
Why does the body continue to breathe rapidly after exercise?
To supply extra oxygen needed to remove
lactic acid
View source
What happens in the body during exercise?
Increased
energy demand
for muscle contraction
Increased
aerobic respiration
Increased
breathing rate
and
volume
Increased
heart rate
to pump oxygenated blood
Possible shift to
anaerobic respiration
if oxygen is insufficient
Lactic acid
buildup leading to muscle fatigue
View source
What is oxygen debt and its significance?
Oxygen debt is the extra oxygen needed after exercise
Required to remove
lactic acid
from muscles
Causes continued rapid breathing post-exercise
