This is a Simulink project to model the human circulatory system (arteries, capillaries, and veins) using electric circuit components. The model uses the reported circuit diagram for the human vessels in [1] and further discussed in [3]. We use the model for the heart following the mathematical model in [2].
The electric parameters for the resistors, inductors, and capacitors are specified in the file init_fcn.m, while the graphs are plotted in the stop_fcn.m. The project runs directly from the file Human_circulatory_system.slx.
All the electric parameters from the original design in [1] are included in the init_fcn.m file, which follow the International System of Units (SI). In this project, we assume a zero impact of gravity (lying in bed), but it can be further specified by modifying the g-force parameter in line 12 from init_fcn.m.
Files provided here are the following:
  • Simulink Project "HSP_Rideout.slx": Runs the project and self call dependencies as the .m files.
  • File to initiate all the electric parameters in the project: init_fcn.m.
  • File to plot results after running the simulink project: stop_fcn.m.
