Before delving into the computational methods of reconstructing the respiratory mod- els‚ 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
