Question

Reminder: average resting respiratory rate = 12 breaths/min; average resting tidal volume = 500 ml; average respiratory dead space = 150 ml. Rachel was out running at a good aerobic pace one spring evening when she noticed Kevin and Nicole lying on the grass breathing noisily. Nicole had a respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute and a tidal volume of 0.15 liters; Kevin had respiratory rate of 10 breaths per minute and a tidal volume of 3 liters; running Rachel had a respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute and a tidal volume of 2.15 liters. Assume they are all about the same size with a respiratory dead space of 150 ml. What is happening to them physiologically...select all that apply!
