Callisto is hiding from Xena under a pile of leaves. She is worried that if she takes slow, deep breaths (tidal volume = 650 mL, breathing rate = 11/min), the pile of leaves will move up and down, and Xena will notice her. Therefore, she takes rapid, shallow breaths (tidal volume = 210 mL, breathing rate = 25/min). Please note anatomical dead space = 150mL Determine Xena’s alveolar ventilation in both cases and discuss which breathing pattern provides better oxygen supply to her body. Show your calculations.
