Hypernea describes what?

Hypernea describes what?

• A. rapid shallow breathing
• B. rapid, deep breathing
• C. slow breathing
• D. irregular breathing

Answer: (B)

Hypernea means ventilation that increases in both rate and depth to meet higher metabolic demands. You’ll see breathing become faster and deeper so more air is moved with each breath, which helps supply more O2 and remove CO2 during activities like exercise. This distinguishes it from rapid shallow breathing, which is fast but not deep (tachypnea), slow breathing (bradypnea), or irregular breathing patterns. So rapid, deep breathing best describes hypernea.
