Document Summary
You get out of bed and perform your daily routine of bathing, eating and dressing and walking to school. A: damage to the alveoli in the lungs, will experience shortness of breath (chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes, mucus like coughs) A:varies by size of family and community size. Takes in basal rate and other activities such as digestion and walking. Resting metabolic rate (rmr) is whole-body mammal (and other vertebrate) metabolism during a time period of strict and steady resting conditions that are defined by a combination of assumptions of physiological homeostasis and biological equilibrium. Rmr differs from basal metabolic rate (bmr) because bmr measurements must meet total physiological equilibrium whereas rmr conditions of measurement can be altered and defined by the contextual limitations. Therefore, bmr is measured in the elusive "perfect" steady state, whereas rmr measurement is more accessible and thus, represents most, if not all measurements or estimates of daily energy expenditure.
