Best Answer

Ventilation is actually the object of breathing itself. When the lungs take in oxygen. It can be made difficult by injuries such as broken ribs or anything that makes breathing painful.Perfusion is when the red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body to adequately distribute it to body tissues. It is a continuous process performed by the cardiovascular system.
