Match. All start with " The volume of air that___"

• Tidal Volume

• moves through the lungs in 60 seconds.

• Minute volume

• does not reach alveoli and does not participate in gas exchange.

• Dead space

• moves in or out of the lungs during one breath.

• Alveolar ventilation

• moves through the lungs in 60 seconds minus the dead space.

The process of breathing air into the respiratory system and exchanging oxygen and CO2 between the alveoli and the blood vessels surrounding them is _ respiration.
