Learn More About This Simulation
Breathing is a matter of life or death! In this simulation, you will be introduced to the respiratory system and what makes it work. You will learn the different stages of pulmonary ventilation and calculate the amount of air our lungs manage with every single breath. Everyone is different and many things, like asthma or pregnancy, can affect the way our respiratory system performs.
Observe the breathing process
One of the great things about being in a virtual lab is that you can use a very realistic and high-tech hologram to observe all the muscles and organs that play an important role in the process of breathing. Click on different buttons to choose between quiet breathing, inspiration, or expiration and experience how the lungs, diaphragm, and other muscles behave accordingly.
Test lung volumes with a spirometer
Take advantage of the opportunity to use a spirometer to test the lung volumes of three different people. Here, you will learn how some of the ways pregnancy or asthma affects the functioning of the respiratory system.
Calculate capacities
Get a more detailed look at how different lungs perform by calculating their real capacities using the resulting values from the spirometry test. Observe how values like the Vital Capacity and the Functional Residual Capacity vary between the subjects and match each pair of lungs with their owner.

A Labster virtual lab is an interactive, multimedia assignment that students access right from their computers. Many Labster virtual labs prepare students for success in college by introducing foundational knowledge using multimedia visualizations that make it easier to understand complex concepts. Other Labster virtual labs prepare learners for careers in STEM labs by giving them realistic practice on lab techniques and procedures.
Labster’s virtual lab simulations are created by scientists and designed to maximize engagement and interactivity. Unlike watching a video or reading a textbook, Labster virtual labs are interactive. To make progress, students must think critically and solve a real-world problem. We believe that learning by doing makes STEM stick.
Yes, Labster is compatible with all major LMS (Learning Management Systems) including Blackboard, Canvas, D2L, Moodle, and many others. Students can access Labster like any other assignment. If your institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log into Labster’s Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide which is the best access method.
Labster is available for purchase by instructors, faculty, and administrators at education institutions. Purchasing our starter package, Labster Explorer, can be done using a credit card if you are located in the USA, Canada, or Mexico. If you are outside of North America or are choosing a higher plan, please speak with a Labster sales representative. Compare plans.
Labster supports a wide range of STEM courses at the high school, college, and university level across fields in biology, chemistry, physics, and health sciences. You can identify topics for your courses by searching our Content Catalog.
