A model of alveolar pressure, which was verified experimentally by studying the respiration of a subject in a plethysmograph, is described. Data on the relationship between the rate of the drop in pressure and resistance are presented. The good correlation between the calibration curve and the experimental data indicated that the magnitude of the alveolar pressure calculated on the basis of this model actually corresponds to real pressure parameters in the lungs.
