General Biology I
Ventilation is the process of moving air in and out of the lungs, which is essential for gas exchange in organisms. This movement helps to replenish oxygen levels and remove carbon dioxide from the body, maintaining homeostasis. Effective ventilation ensures that respiratory surfaces remain saturated with oxygen-rich air, facilitating the diffusion of gases between the air and the bloodstream.
