Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason for the impossibility to hold the breath for more than a minute or so.
Introduction:
The respiratory system includes the group of organs that helps in inhalation and exhalation of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The lungs are the primary organ that is responsible for the exchange of gases.

Hello, May I get help on this question very soon please? I do not understand it.
Question: You're talking to one of your grandparents on the phone, and they are telling you about some really neat things they just learned about the lungs on a documentary. Specifically, they are telling you about this really cool feedback loop where lower in CO2 in the blood in near skeletal muscles than usual to leads your brain to trigger a whole bunch of responses in how you breathe. They mention about how your medulla tells your systemic arterioles to constrict, for your external intercostals to contract less, and your lung muscles to contract less. You tell them how much you love to hear that they are learning about the respiratory system, but you gently note that the documentary must have got one thing wrong.
The documentary was incorrect because (see image)
Why do humans have to breath? Please explain in as much detail as possible.

Question: Your friend Lolo wants to train for her first-ever 5k running race, and she is already thinking about her breathing (yes, she's overthinking this). At rest, she typically takes thirteen 400 mL breaths per minute and she has an anatomical deadspace of 125 mL. Lolo knows that she will have to change her breathing when she runs, but she's trying to figure out what would be most effective at getting O2 into her alveoli and down to her leg muscle. She heard that you're taking this human physiology course, and so she comes to you to ask what you think. You tell her the most effective way to increase the PO2 in her alveoli is...
