The increase in the volume of CO2 with increase in body-weight is in every instance less than the increase in the volume of 02 with body- weight. Thus, in the women C02 production increases per kilogram of weight in the supplementary series and per kilo- gram of weight in the original series. In the larger series of men the increase in C02 output per kilogram of body weight ranges from to For th

This result would be expected from the fact that the respiratory quotient is practically always less than unity. The significance of the differences in the exchange of the two gases will be discussed below. The difference between the two sexes will be treated on the basis of total heat-production in Chapter VII. 6. STATURE AND GASEOUS EXCHANGE. The correlations between stature and gaseous exchange appear in table 26. The coefficients for the relationship between stature and both oxygen consumption and carbon-dioxide production in men are of medium or moderately high value and, considering the relatively few individuals (in the statistical, not the physiological, sense), are remarkably consistent Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
