  1. EFFECT OF EXERCISE & OTHER FACTORS ON RESPIRATION Lecture 8 Dr. Zahoor Ali Shaikh

  2. Effect Of Exercise On Respiration • Alveolar Ventilation increases 20-fold during heavy exercise to keep pace with increased demand of O2 uptake and CO2 output. • Big three chemical factors that is decreased PO2, increased PCO2 and increased H+ does not play major role. • During exercise, ventilation increases at the onset of exercise within seconds, long before arterial blood gases could become important which requires minutes.

  3. Factors Increasing Ventilation During Exercise • Reflexes originating from joints and muscle receptors during exercise reflexly stimulate the respiratory center. • Increase in body temperature during exercise stimulates ventilation. • Increased Epinephrine release during exercise stimulates ventilation. • Impulses from cerebral cortex, at the onset of exercise stimulates medullary respiratory neuron.

  4. Respiration Can Be Influenced By Factors Unrelated To Need For Gas Exchange • Respiratory rate and depth can be modified by 1. Sneezing & Coughing – these are protective reflexes to expel irritant material. 2. Pain - anywhere in the body reflexly stimulate respiration. 3. Laughing, crying modifies the respiration.

  5. Respiration Can Be Influenced By Factors Unrelated To Need For Gas Exchange [cont] 4. Hiccups – Spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm occurs, causing rapid intake of air which is suddenly halted by abrupt closure of glottis. 5. Swallowing – reflexly inhabits respiratory center to prevent food from entering the lungs. 6. Speaking, singing, and whistling: We also control our breathing to perform such voluntary acts.

  6. Cyanosis • Cyanosis is a blue coloration of skin and mucous membranes. • It results when reduced Hemoglobin in capillary blood is more than 5g/100ml of blood. • Central Cyanosis occurs in severe hypoxia in lung disease, Right to left shunt eg Ventricular septal defect.

  7. Hypoxia • Types of Hypoxia are given in the Slide 7 [Table 13-7]. Here is the example for each type of Hypoxia. • Hypoxic Hypoxia occurs in lung disease, at high altitude. • Anemic Hypoxia occurs in Anemia and CO Poisoning. • Circulatory Hypoxia or Stagnant Hypoxia occurs in slow circulation e.g. Cardiac failure. • Histotoxic Hypoxia occurs when tissues are not able to use O2. It occurs in Cyanide Poisoning.

  8. APNEA & SLEEP APNEA • Apnea is the transient interruption of ventilation, with breathing resuming spontaneously. If breathing does not resume, the condition is called respiratory arrest. • During sleep ventilation is normally decreased and the central chemoreceptors are less sensitive to the arterial PCO2 drive , victims of sleep apnea may stop breathing for a 10seconds or longer many times in the night.

  9. APNEA & SLEEP APNEA [cont] • Mild sleep apnea is not dangerous unless the sufferer has pulmonary or circulatory disease, which can be exacerbated by recurrent bouts of apnea.

  10. {CLINICAL ASPECT} Sudden Infant Death Syndrome [SIDS] • In SIDS, Apnea occurs [stoppage of breathing] and patient is unable to recover from Apnea period and death occurs. • SIDS or crib [cot] death – It is the leading cause of death in the first year of life, usually 2-4 months old infant is found dead in his or her cot for no apparent reason.

  11. {CLINICAL ASPECT} Sudden Infant Death Syndrome [SIDS] • Cause is not clear but different possibilities are put forward: • Baby forgets to breath – as respiratory control mechanism are immature either in brain stem or chemoreceptors are poorly developed. • Abnormal lung development . • Aspiration of gastric [stomach] juice containing Helicobacter pylori. • Combination of factors maybe involved.

  12. {CLINICAL ASPECT} Sudden Infant Death Syndrome [SIDS] • Other Observations In SIDS • Sleeping position of baby – 40% increased incidents of SIDS is associated with sleeping on the abdomen rather than on the back or side. • Infants whose mother smoked during pregnancy are more likely to die of SIDS.

  13. Role of Respiration In Acid-Base Balance • pH of blood – 7.4 [7.35-7.45] • Lungs and kidneys regulate the pH of body. • Lungs play important role in regulation of pH because they excrete CO2. Respiratory Acidosis • If respiratory center is depressed e.g. brain damage, drugs, it will increase CO2 in the body which will increase H+. • CO2 + H2O  H2CO3  H + HCO3 • If H+ ion increases – it will cause Respiratory Acidosis.

  14. Respiratory Alkalosis • If person hyperventilates, it will cause loss of CO2 and H+ ions and pH becomes alkaline [respiratory alkalosis].

  15. What You Should Know From This Lecture • Effect of Exercise on - O2 use and CO2 production - Alveolar Ventilation - Arterial PO2, Arterial PCO2, Arterial H+ level • Clinically Important Respiratory States [Given in Table 13-7 Slide 7] • Cyanosis • Hypoxia • Apnea • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome [SIDS] • Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis
