    This study presents an analog computer simulation for human pulmonary microvascular exchange, modeling blood-to-lymph transport. The simulation accurately predicts normal and perturbed lung conditions, aligning with existing literature.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary microvascular exchange is crucial for gas exchange and fluid homeostasis.
    • Understanding blood-to-lymph transport in the lungs is complex.
    • Existing models may not fully capture dynamic or perturbed states.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an analog computer simulation of human pulmonary microvascular exchange.
    • To model blood-to-lymph transport based on compartmental analysis.
    • To predict fluid volumes, protein content, flows, and pressures under normal and perturbed conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • An analog computer simulation was programmed and tested.
    • The model employed compartmental analysis of the lungs.
