    constancy of alveolar gas tensions. Firstly it is important to understand what the anatomical dead space and FRC actually are. The anatomical dead space refers to the gas in the conducting areas of the respiratory system where air does not come into contact with alveoli. Examples of places in the respiratory system where anatomical dead space is present are the mouth and trachea. The functional residual capacity is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a normal and passive expiration. It is

    Respiratory regulation’ refers to changes in pH due to pCO2 changes from alterations in respiration. This change in can occur rapidly with significant effects on pH. Carbon dioxide is lipid soluble and crosses cell membranes quickly‚ so changes in pCO2 result in rapid changes in [H+] in all body fluid compartments. Respiratory regulation requires a connection between alveolar respiration and pH via pCO2. The control system for respiratory regulation of acid-base balance can be considered using
