The process of oxygenating the blood through the lungs.
In respiratory physiology, ventilation (or ventilation rate) is the rate at which gas enters or leaves the lung. It is categorized under the following definitions:
measurement: V is the flow rate of air into hte alveoli, measured in L/min or volume per unit time. Q is the flowrate of blood through the pulmonary circulation, in the same units as V. is thus a unitless ratio. The value for this in a normal individual is approximately 1.
