Modelling of respiratory exchange of polar solvents / Gunnar Johanson

Sumario: Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models are frequently used to describe the kinetics of inhaled gases and vapours. In these models the conducting airways of the respiratory tract are generally assumed to act as inert tubes. The function of the inert tubes is merely to conduct the vapour to the alveolar regions where the actual exchange between ambient air and body takes place. Such an inert tube model may be adequate to describe the inhalation and exhalation kinetics of inert vapours, for example non-polar solventes which have a low water solubility
