For the perfusion process, the circulatory organs of the cardiovascular system such as the heart, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, and alveolar capillaries are involved. Within the lungs, the ventilation process specifically involves organs like respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli. The respiratory system and major airways participating in ventilation include the nostril, nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and lungs. Ventilation-Perfusion coupling involves organs of the respiratory system and cardiovascular system.

Lung diseases, cardiac shunts, and smoking can cause a ventilation-perfusion mismatch that results in significant symptoms and diseases, which can be treated through treatments like bronchodilators and oxygen therapy. When the ratio gets above or below 0.8, it is considered abnormal ventilation-perfusion coupling, also known as a ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Ventilation-perfusion coupling maintains a constant ratio near 0.8 on average, while the regional variation exists within the lungs due to gravity. Anatomically, the lung structure, alveolar organization, and alveolar capillaries contribute to the physiological mechanism of ventilation and perfusion. Ventilation is the movement of gas during breathing, and perfusion is the process of pulmonary blood circulation, which delivers oxygen to body tissues. Ventilation-perfusion coupling is the relationship between ventilation and perfusion processes, which take place in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
