Abstract
Before delving into the computational methods of reconstructing the respiratory models, we first discuss the respiratory system from a functional point of view. In addition, descriptions, locations, geometry, and naming conventions for the anatomical parts are discussed in order to establish a basis for decision-making when reconstructing the model. This chapter provides the fundamentals of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system and may be skipped if the reader has an established background in this field.
