Abstract :
This paper presents a simulation model of the human respiratory system. A combination out of well proved mathematical equations on one hand and an extended rule base on the other enables the dynamic simulation of several interactions of the respiratory system. For the implementation of the rule base a finite state machine technique had been used. The derived comprehensive simulation model is used to study and analyze the respiratory dynamics for teaching purposes
