Ship Ventilation

[Rye]

I was just wondering, on a ship like Voyager how are the rooms ventilated? Do they actually have a ventilation system to speak of, or do the replicators exhange air gases or something?

There are vents in some scenes.

E-nils ventilation system was mentioned and shown in TOS: "Obsession" and Odo fled in to a ventilation duckt in DS9: "The Alternate" after he had attacked Bashir.

The crisis in the first season episode "Learning Curve" revolves around a virus that spreads through the ship's ventilation system, infecting the bio-neural gelpacks.

Is there any mention of how large they are, like big enough to have a chestburster or facehugger in?

Nertz, i just realised something else i should've put in the OP, on voyager, where would you go to fix the internal sensors and communications?

I don't think they're too big, I can't remember seeing one on the wall or any such.

I'd assume that they're about the size of regular ducting, meaning a medium-sized cat or a chest-burster (and possibly a face-hugger, though it might be an awkward fit due to the length of its legs) could fit in pretty well.

Probably somewhere in the Jeffries tube system.

There are vent systems on Starfleet ships. I remember when Prometheus was hijacked by some aliens, can't remember which species, and only Holodoc from Voyager and the Pro's own Holodoc were left. They doodled with the vent system and some knock out anasthetic gas was placed on the vent system, KOing the hijackers.
