What is the alveolar ventilation of a resting person with a tidal volume of 500 mL, a dead space of 150 mL, and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths per minute? Suppose the person exercises, so that tidal volume increases to 4000 mL, dead space increases to 300 mL due to dilation of the respiratory passageways, and respiratory rate increases to 24 breaths per minute. What is the alveolar ventilation then? How is the change in alveolar ventilation beneficial for doing exercise?
