Emergent behavior of regional heterogeneity in the lung and its effects on respiratory impedance.
The ability to maintain adequate gas exchange depends on the relatively homogeneous distribution of inhaled gas throughout the lung. Structural alterations associated with many respiratory diseases may significantly depress this function during tidal breathing. These alterations frequently occur in a heterogeneous manner due to complex, emergent interactions among the many constitutive elements...
