    Anatomical dead space is the space in the airway that does not participate in gas exchange. This includes the volume of the conducting airways including the nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. Gas exchange only occurs in the alveoli at the end of the bronchioles where oxygen can diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide can diffuse out of the blood into the alveoli.
