Oxygenation and VentilationOxygenation and Ventilation

• Two completely different and Two completely different and separate functionsseparate functions– Oxygenation is the transport of OOxygenation is the transport of O22 via the via the

bloodstream to the cellsbloodstream to the cells• Oxygen is required for metabolismOxygen is required for metabolism

– Ventilation is the exhaling of COVentilation is the exhaling of CO22 via the via the respiratory tractrespiratory tract• Carbon dioxide is a byproduct Carbon dioxide is a byproduct

of metabolismof metabolism
