La perfusion alvéolaire diminue ou cesse aux sommets et augmente aux bases, du moins tant que la pression interstitielle n'interfère pas avec la circulation locale : au-delà d'une certaine accélération, le débit sanguin baisse aussi au niveau des bases [...] La région ventilée non perfusée des sommets s'ajoute à l'espace mort respiratoire. La région perfusée non ventilée des bases joue le rôle d'un shunt.
