How does the respiratory minute volume differ from alveolar ventilation?
What will be an ideal response?
Respiratory minute volume is the amount of air moved into and out of the respiratory tract each minute, whereas alveolar ventilation is the amount of air reaching the alveoli each minute. Because some of the air never reaches the alveoli but instead remains in the anatomic dead space, alveolar ventilation is lower than respiratory minute volume.
