A spinal cord injury at C2 results not only in paralysis but also in a lifetime on a respirator. Why does an injury this high affect ability to breathe?
Although respiratory muscles are voluntary, you cannot hold your breath until you lose consciousness because your brain will force you to ventilate (= breathe) before then. Explain how the brain ‘knows’ when to stimulate ventilation. please help with examples
Daniel, the swimmer with the fastest time on the college swim team, routinely hyperventilates before a meet, as he says "to sock some more oxygen into my lungs so I can swim longer without having to breathe." "Furthermore, my heart won't have to adjust it's output".  First of all, what basic fact about oxygen loading has Daniel forgotten (a lapse leading to false thinking)? Do you think that hyperventilation will provide him with enough oxygen to increase his endurance during the race?
