VentilationVentilation
- process by which O2 and CO2 are- process by which O2 and CO2 are
transported to and from the lungstransported to and from the lungs
Venous bloodVenous blood
- lower pO2 higher pCO2 than inspired- lower pO2 higher pCO2 than inspired
gasgas
- partial pressure gradient driving O2 in- partial pressure gradient driving O2 in
and CO2 outand CO2 out
5. Ventilation of lungs with inspired gasesVentilation of lungs with inspired gases
leads to mixing with alveolar gasleads to mixing with alveolar gas
If no ventilation at all, no replenishmentIf no ventilation at all, no replenishment
of O2 and no removal of CO2of O2 and no removal of CO2
