What is difference between anatomical dead space and phyiological dead space?

ANATOMICAL DEAD SPACEThe volume of the conducting airways of the nose,mouth,trachea down to the level of alveoli representing dead portion of inspired gas unavailable of exchange of gases with pulmonary capilary blood. PHYSIOLOGICAL DEAD SPACEIt is the combination of anatomical dead space and alveolar dead space.where as alveolar dead space is the space occupied by gas which is transported to the alveoli but does not meet blood across the alveolar capillary membrane.

no you can't. Just turn down the volume


Why respiratory minute volume does not represent all air that reaches the alveolar surface?

Due to the presence of dead space


Physiological dead air space is anatomic dead plus?

Physiological dead space includes both anatomical dead space (air that fills the conducting airways where no gas exchange occurs) and alveolar dead space (alveoli that receive inadequate blood supply for gas exchange). It represents the total volume of the respiratory system that does not participate in gas exchange.
