Lung Ventilation Distribution

Molecular classification: Physiological Process

Overview

Lung ventilation distribution refers to the spatial pattern by which inspired air is distributed among different regions of the lungs during breathing. It is a physiological process influenced by factors such as gravity, pleural pressure gradients, alveolar compliance, and airway resistance. Uneven distribution can lead to ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, impairing gas exchange efficiency and contributing to hypoxemia and other respiratory complications.
