title: P NUTS--a nutritious method of teaching respiratory physiology.
abstract: Teaching basic respiratory physiology can be made more interesting and fun by means of a simulation involving active transport (and consumption) of peanuts by the participants. Simple rules simulate the basic features of oxygen transport, hypoxia and hypoxaemia and provide an opportunity to discuss physiological principles at intervals during the simulation.
