Question
Chapter 23.5, Problem 39AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The method by which surfactant reduces lung recoil and the effect if the alveoli have insufficient surfactant.
Introduction:
The propensity for the lungs to reduce in size following stretching is termed as lung recoil. Surface tension and elastic coil are the two factors that cause lung recoil.
