Usage:

1. Medical sense: Pulmonary ventilation plays a crucial role in maintaining respiratory function. It ensures the constant supply of oxygen to the body and the removal of carbon dioxide, preventing respiratory distress.

Example sentence: Pulmonary ventilation is necessary to deliver oxygen to the alveoli in the lungs for gas exchange.

2. Exercise sense: During physical activity, pulmonary ventilation increases to meet the higher demand for oxygen by the working muscles.

Example sentence: Regular exercise improves pulmonary ventilation, enhancing overall cardiovascular fitness.

3. Scientific research sense: Pulmonary ventilation rates are often measured and analyzed to study respiratory health, lung diseases, and physiological responses to various environmental conditions.

Example sentence: The study monitored participants' pulmonary ventilation rates during extreme altitude conditions to understand the effects on breathing patterns.
