Principles for modeling and functional simulation of biological microstructures
Andres Kriete · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1997
This paper discusses some aspects of computer based modeling of biological microstructures. The workflow tom model and simulate a biological structure is described as a feedback- loop. Beside the system definition by structural and dynamical properties, the simulation is discussed as a mathematical representation coupled with a computer visualization. As an example, the investigation of the functional behavior of lung structures is described with special emphasis to the modeling of respiratory units.
