Tracheal Fluid Exercise Oxygen Describe Activity Volume Tracheoles

Front Describe how activity changes the volume of tracheal fluid in tracheoles and explain the value of this occurring.
Back Exercise and tracheal fluid:
  • Lactic acid from anaerobic respiration builds up in the tissues
  • This draws fluid out, exposing greater surface area for more oxygen uptake into body cells
  • Important bc exercise means oxygen demand increases
