Welcome to the repository dedicated to the modeling and analysis of physiological systems! This collection features several projects that utilize MATLAB, Simulink, and CricAdapt to explore various aspects of human physiology. Each project offers unique insights into the complex functions of the human body. Below, you'll find details on a few key projects along with instructions on how to use them.
Explore the mechanics of breathing by simulating various respiratory conditions with MATLAB. This project demonstrates how normal, restrictive, and obstructive pulmonary diseases affect respiratory dynamics. Visualize changes in minute ventilation and understand the physiological impacts of different respiratory conditions.
Model the electrical properties of dendritic trees by approximating them as branched cables. MATLAB simulations help illustrate the behavior of axonal and dendritic trees, providing insights into how these structures contribute to physiological signaling processes.
Analyze nerve cell action potentials using the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. This project covers various aspects, including threshold behavior, refractoriness, and the influence of temperature. MATLAB is used to simulate these dynamics, offering a detailed view of action potential behaviors under different scenarios.
Investigate the complexities of heart function using simulation tools. This project examines normal sinus rhythm, blood flow velocities, and pressure-volume relationships, among other cardiac dynamics. By studying valve movements and diastolic filling phases, you can gain a deeper understanding of the heart's physiological processes.
