Abstract
A mathematical model has been derived that describes the pressure-flow relationship in the ventilatory system under conditions of constant lung volume. The parameters of the model include small airway resistance, large airway resistance, and lung elastic recoil. A collapsible airway segment is included to model compression of the airways during expiration.
