About This Simulation
Learn about the anatomy and functions of the upper and lower respiratory tract while rebuilding the respiratory system on a broken model. Follow the journey of air all the way from the nasal cavity to the alveoli.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish the functions of the upper and lower respiratory tract
- Name the organs that make up the respiratory system
- Describe the structure and function of the lungs and the pleural coverings

Learn More About This Simulation
Join us to follow the flow of air through the complete respiratory system. In this simulation, you will learn about the anatomy of the respiratory system and its major functions. You'll be introduced to the respiratory tract and pleurae and get to assemble the lobes of the lungs and bronchial tree on our live anatomy model.
Help! The anatomy model keeps falling apart
After getting introduced to the upper respiratory tract, watch as the rest of our anatomy model's respiratory tract falls apart before your eyes! Regenerate the lower respiratory tract one piece at a time to see how the bronchial tree branches all the way from the trachea down to the alveoli. See if you can distinguish between the upper and lower respiratory tracts by answering our quizzes and riddles.
Reassemble the lobes of the lungs
It happened again! Watch as the lobes of the lungs of our model fall apart. Piece the lungs together again to discover the difference in lobular structure between the right and left lung.
Puncture the pleurae of the lungs
After reassembling the bronchial tree, lungs and looking closer at the pleurae, you get to puncture the pleurae of our anatomy model to demonstrate their function. Watch the air escape the lung and leave it deflated. Are you ready? Take our breath away!

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

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.
