Abstract

The paper presents the issue connected with the construction and simulations of the complex mathematical model of the respiratory system for the interrupter technique. Combining morphometric data for the consecutive segments of the object (assumption on symmetrical structure of the bronchial tree) with information on existence and proportions between the processes, proper for the interrupter experiment, resulted in an exact imitation of the occlusion conditions, both in the time and frequency domain. It is expected that the model will be a base for design of the simple and reliable diagnostic test dedicated to the respiratory mechanics measurement. From this point of view, the proposed complex mathematical analog of the respiratory system during airflow interruption is a forward model in the forward-inverse scheme of cognition.
