Draw and label a spirogram showing respiratory activity in a resting person. Draw and label a spirogram in this same person during exercise.

What will be an ideal response?


The resting graph should resemble Figure 17.7. During exercise, the only things that change are the size of the tidal
volume curve, which will become larger as it enters into the inspiratory and expiratory reserve capacities, and
these reserve capacities will have the same extreme values but will be smaller.
