Vascularization of the lungs

3 important questions on Vascularization of the lungs

Why vascularization of the lungs

In order to have CO2 remove and to have O2 transported through the body, it's important to have the vascularization of the lung.

Lungs divided into 3 zones with different pressure gradients

In order to have perfusion in the lungs, the arterial pressure must be higher than the pressure that's given from outside on the blood vessels through the alveoli.

What is pulmonary embolism?

Acute disturbance of ventilation to perfusion ratio
