What is the distribution of ventilation and perfusion?
Ventilation, diffusion and perfusion. Ventilation consists of two parts: Expiration, when the intrapulmonary pressure is higher than the atmosphere, air will flow out of the lungs. Diffusion is the process whereby gases move from an area of high pressure to low pressure.
Learn how gas exchange occurs in the lung, where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the body. Understand the gas laws, air composition, and ventilation and perfusion mechanisms that affect gas exchange.
