Ventilation is important because it maintains larger diffusion gradients for O2 and CO2, allowing for faster diffusion across the alveolar epithelium.
La ventilazione è importante perché mantiene più ampi gradienti di diffusione per O2 e CO2, consentendo una diffusione più rapida attraverso l'epitelio alveolare.
