Problem 1: Graph a normal resting oxygen dissociation curve. What percentage of the available oxygen is normally dissociated at rest? What changes during exercise and altitude in regarding to oxygen dissociation?
Problem 2: Discuss the primary control of respiration and the factors that affect such control. How does this impact the ability to achieve steady state respiratory during submaximal exercise?
Problem 3: List and explain the four factors that increase oxygen dissociated during exercise. How would this impact the dissociation of oxygen and why would this be beneficial during exercise? Describe the additional factor that influences oxygen dissociation at altitude.
