Figure 7.
Respiratory resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs) in a model [7] consisting of a central airway resistance of 5 cmH2O s L-1 plus a bronchial wall elastance of 700 cmH2O L-1 in parallel with a peripheral airway resistance (Rp) and a tissue elastance of 30 cmH2O L-1. Rrs and Xrs are shown for three different values of Rp.
