agree  Sara Silva: Concordo com o Ricardo. E tal como referiu em cima, pode dizer-se "ventilação" ou "ventilação pulmonar".

agree  Filippe Vasconcellos de Freitas Guimarães: Concordo. Stricto sensu, usamos "respiração" para os dois processos mesmo.

respiração controlada OU voluntária vs. respiração não controlada ou involuntária.


Explanation:
Minha sugestão, pois em português a tradução dos dois termos é mesmo "respiração".

Breathing is taking air in (inspiration) and out of your lungs (expiration); can be consciously controlled ( i.e. a voluntary action)
Respiration is part of a metabolic process; it is a cellular activity where the end products are energy molecules (ATP), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) ; cannot be consciously controlled (or, is an involuntary action).

Respiration and Breathing


Respiration is the process used in all living things for gaining energy. Energy is needed for keeping the vital organs working and generally staying alive. It is also needed for moving muscles. Keeping a constant body temperature is important to. Cell division, reproduction and other important processes in the body all need energy to work.

Breathing:
Breathing in >>> Inspiration
Diaphragm lowers and the ribs raise to increase the volume of the thorax. The pressure decreases so air is drawn into the lungs.

Breathing out >>> Expiration
Diaphragm raises and ribs lower which decreases the volume of the thorax. The pressure increases and air is forced out of the lungs
