CrsCompliance of the respiratory systemThe ability to extend the lungs
RnNewtonian resistanceCentral airway constriction
GTissue dampingAlveolar tissue constriction
HTissue elastanceAlveolar tissue stiffness
CstQuasistatic complianceAbility to stretch
EstQuasistatic elastanceThe temporary blocking of airflow during the respiratory cycle (in inverse proportion to the elasticity of the lung tissue)
