The primary function of the equine respiratory system is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide at a rate that is matched to metabolism. Gas exchange requires ventilation, distribution of gas within the lung, perfusion of blood through pulmonary capillaries, matching of ventilation and blood flow, diffusion of gases between air and blood, and transport of gases to and from the muscles. In this article, the author reviews what is known about each of these processes in the resting and exercising horse.
马呼吸系统的主要功能是以与新陈代谢相匹配的速率进行氧气和二氧化碳的交换。气体交换需要通气、气体在肺内的分布、血液通过肺毛细血管的灌注、通气与血流的匹配、气体在空气和血液之间的扩散以及气体在肌肉之间的运输。在本文中，作者回顾了关于静息和运动马匹中这些过程的已知情况。
