👉 Ventilative is a medical term that refers to the process of breathing in air, which is essential for the functioning of the body. It involves the movement of diaphragm muscles and lungs to facilitate gas exchange between the alveoli (tiny air sacs) within the lungs and the bloodstream. This process helps maintain homeostasis by ensuring that the body's oxygen levels are maintained at a healthy level, while also removing carbon dioxide from the environment.
