Antworten
-
It always remains less than atmospheric pressure.
-
It is negative during inspiration and positive during expiration.
-

Airway pressure is greater than Palv.
-
Palv is greater than at the airway opening.
-
Palv is the same as at the airway opening
-
Palv is less than at the airway opening.

surface tension forces
-
airway resistance
-
elastic forces of lung tissue

Frage 13
Frage
What is the effect of surface tension forces in the air-filled lung?
Antworten
-
It decreases the lung's elasticity as volume increases
-
It makes the lung harder to inflate than if it were filled with fluid
-
It increases the elastic recoil of the lung (promoting collapse).
