How does exercise affect the amount of carbon released from the lungs?

Your body is an engine that uses fuel (food) to produce energy for you to do exercise. The fuel contains carbon from the carbohydrates you eat, and the body uses oxygen from the air to do a chemical reaction that combines the carbon with the oxygen to produce energy plus carbon dioxide.

If you do exercise, you use more fuel and more oxygen, and you produce more carbon dioxide. The body has sensors that detect excess carbon dioxide in the blood, and they make you breathe faster to get rid of it.

Changes to the lungs through training?

training changes a lot of thing in the body. the main changes to the lungs are that they grow to be more efficient when aquiring oxygen. this happens both through the structure becoming more flexable and stronger, and the ability to transfer more oxygen into the capilleries(oxygen lung diffusion rate)

What is subcarinal?

The subcarinal is a lymph node located on the posteroanterior chest wall. These are commonly involved with cancers by metastases (mets) from cancer in the lungs. The term "posteroanterior" refers to an anatomical location used by imaging technicians and radiologists. As a more basic explanation for the location of the "subcarinal area" (or SCA) is a wide area behind the main bronchus and right / left bronchi and thus, also behind the top of the esophagus. See above for an image.

In the lungs what do you need to increase the internal pressure?

The internal pressure of the lungs is controlled by the diaphragm and the muscles of the thorax (chest). Inhalation is caused by increasing the volume (which lowers the internal pressure) while decreasing the volume (increases the internal pressure) leads to exhalation, similar to the way a bellows works. The elastic qualities of the lung also help the process of exhalation.
