Abstract :
The present study was prepared in order to illustrate the gas exchange (O2 and CO2) between pulmonary blood and alveolar air. In the model, circulatory and respiratory systems have been separately simulated in order to obtain the driving functions of the interaction model. This last takes into account oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanges between alveolar air and pulmonary blood.
