The main functions of respiration are to provide oxygen to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide. The four major components of respiration are the following: (1) pulmonary ventilation, which means the inflow and outflow of air between the atmosphere and the lung alveoli; (2) diffusion of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and the blood; (3) transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and body fluids to and from the body’s tissue cells; and (4) regulation of ventilation and other facets of respiration. This chapter is a discussion of pulmonary ventilation; the subsequent five chapters cover other respiratory functions plus the physiology of special respiratory abnormalities.
