Anatomical dead space refers to the volume of air in the respiratory system that does not participate in gas exchange, such as in the trachea and bronchi. Physiological dead space includes both anatomical dead space and any alveoli that are ventilated but not perfused with blood, leading to inefficient gas exchange.
