TY - JOUR AU - COGGESHALL, H. C. AB - Abstract In a preceding paper,1 a plethysmographic method was described for the study of the respiratory movements in man, and it was shown that in repose the expiratory position of the chest is usually, though not necessarily, almost constant, and that it may be altered by a change in the position of the body, by muscular activity or by speech. The alteration that accompanied muscular activity appeared to be due to a psychic or reflex mechanism. In order to investigate the latter factors further, the influence of the determination of basal metabolism on the respirations was studied. When the basal metabolic rate is determined, a face mask or a mouthpiece and nose-clip are used in connecting the subject's lungs to the spirometer. The application of this apparatus produces a psychic or reflex reaction in some subjects, and the respirations are materially altered. It was noted by Carpenter,2 in comparing References 1.
