Introduction to Pulmonary Ventilation: Process of respiration and physiology of the respiratory system

Welcome to the Pulmonary Physiology simulation. In this simulation, you will learn about the different parts involved in the process of respiration and how different physiologies can affect our way of breathing. You will learn how to test and compare some individuals' pulmonary function using a spirometer.
