The simulated PV curve with the tissue elastic and surfactant properties included. The parameter γMax was set to 28 mN/m. The radius a of the alveolar rigid ring was set to 61 μm, and the maximal alveolar radius (rMax) to 100 μm to simulate smaller cat alveoli. Experimental data are indicated by dots (4).
