Welcome everybody to another episode of Dr Matt and Dr Mike's A to Z of the Human Body.

We are on the letter A and today's episode is on airflow, interesting term.

Usually we talk about terms that are biologically specific, only used in the context of biology or medicine.

But today, airflow, I mean, this is something that is just a normal term used colloquially.

We talk about airflow about, you know, there's not enough airflow in this room, open the window, open the door, whatever it may be.

So airflow, we probably just think about as how much air is coming in or out of a room or a space, which is pretty similar to the definition of airflow biologically or medically,

which is in the medical context,

the movement of air into and out of the lungs during the process of breathing.

So that's airflow.

So breathe, okay.

No, I was just going to say,

that sounds very similar to another, the definition of another term.

What do you think that that term is?

When we talk about the respiratory system?

Ventilation.

Yeah. External ventilation.

Well, that's, well, there's only one type of ventilation.

Or you can say internal, which is cellular respiration.

Respiration.

Yeah.

We're talking ventilation.

Oh, ventilation.
