Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alveolar ventilation rate equals the respiratory rate multiplied by the difference between tidal volume and anatomic dead space. This calculation specifically accounts for the volume of air that reaches the alveoli and is available for gas exchange, excluding the volume of air that remains in the conducting airways (anatomic dead space).
