Abstract:
We attempt to motivate utilization of some local derivatives of arbitrary orders in clinical medicine. For this purpose, we provide two efficient solution methods for various problems that occur in nature by employing the local proportional derivative defined by the proportional derivative (PD) controller. Under some necessary assumptions, a detailed exposition of the instantaneous volume in a lung is furnished by conformable derivative and such modified conformable derivatives as truncated M-derivative and proportional derivative. Moreover, we wish to investigate the performance of the above-mentioned operators in applications by plotting several graphs of the governing equations.

Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...
