How does respiration differ from ventilation?

Respiration occurs when oxygen is delivered to the cells of the body, whereas ventilation occurs when carbon dioxide is removed.
Respiration occurs when the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, whereas ventilation occurs when those same muscles relax.
Respiration is the process of gas exchange, whereas ventilation is the movement of air between the lungs and the environment.
Ventilation occurs when air is forced into the lungs, whereas respiration occurs when air is drawn or sucked into the lungs.

The correct answer is: Respiration occurs when oxygen is delivered to the cells of the body, whereas ventilation occurs when carbon dioxide is removed.

Respiration differs from ventilation in that respiration is the process of oxygen being delivered to the cells of the body, while ventilation is the physical act of moving air in and out of the lungs. The correct answer states that respiration occurs when oxygen is delivered to the cells of the body, emphasizing the oxygen delivery aspect of respiration. The other choices are incorrect as they do not accurately capture the distinction between respiration and ventilation.
