respiration: A high respiratory rate with shallow breathing gives us more breaths but less air volume, and thus less alveolar ventilation.
Whereas a slow respiratory rate, with deep breaths brings in more air to the alveoli. The reason for this is because the dead space volume is fixed, it does not change.
