- a)Some competitive swimmers hyperventilate before a race, thinking they can "load up extra oxygen" and hold their breaths longer underwater. While they can indeed hold their breaths longer, it is not for the reason they think. Furthermore, some have lost consciousness and drowned because of this practice. What is wrong with this thinking, and what accounts for the loss of consciousness? b) You cannot affect the oxygen delivery to your tissues by drinking "oxygenated water". However, breathing oxygen at hyperbaric pressures increases oxygen delivery to tissues. Explain why these two statements are true.arrow_forwardWhen you hold your breath, which of the following blood gaschanges first leads to the urge to breathe?(A) rising O2(B) falling O2(C) rising CO2(D) falling CO2arrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE of airway resistance in the respiratory system?
