Of these 500 mL approx. 350 mL reach the alveoli while 150 mL fill the dead space. When we take deep breaths the ratio between alveoli ventilation and dead space ventilation increases. When we take shallow breaths the ratio decreases. Alveolar hypoventilation is when the alveolar ventilation is insufficient compared to the requir..."
