Abstract
An initial set of structural properties to model the bronchial tree of the mammalian lung is envisioned, which allows to study morphology and function. Three levels of structural organization are taken into account: 1) the well defined main bronchii of the lung supplying for the lung lobes, 2) the macroscopic, gas conductive segments of the bronchial tree and their random distribution forming the lobes and 3) the respiratory units (acini) at microscopic resolution. The final model combining these structural hierarchies can be used to study gas transport visualized by computer graphical tools.
