MSCE Biology for Form 4: Master Key Concepts

 

  1. Physical Exercise
    • Increases respiration rate
    • More CO2 produced
    • Higher demand for O2
  2. Excitement and Sudden Fear
    • Adrenaline release
    • Increases breathing rate
  3. Elevated CO2 Levels in Blood
    • Stimulates the medulla oblongata
    • Increases respiration rate
  4. Lower CO2 Levels in Blood
    • Reduces breathing rate as more O2 reaches cells

Effects of Exercise on Breathing:

  • Breathing involves air intake and expulsion from the lungs.
  • Influenced by temperature, health, exercise, emotions, and age.
  • Exercise increases muscle energy demands, requiring more O2 and glucose (C6H12O6).
  • CO2 is produced as a byproduct
