What is the condition where the lungs tissue collapses?
The condition where the lung tissue collapses is called atelectasis. This occurs when alveoli in the lungs deflate, leading to reduced gas exchange and potential respiratory issues. Atelectasis can be caused by various factors such as blockage of airways, pressure on the lungs, or underlying lung diseases.
How do chest tubes work to fix a collapsed lung?
I am not in the medical field. But if a lung collapses it means that there is air getting between the lung and the chest cavity creating pressure against the lung. A tube placed in the chest wall will relieve the pressure there. When the lung fills with air it pushes the air out of the tube. Then you can block the tube to give the chest cavity back the slight vacuum it had before. That is why your chest expands when you breate in. I hope this is right and I am not stepping on any toes out there.
What is lung compliance?

What is the function of the horizontal fissure of the left lung?
The function of the horizontal fissure of the left lung helps the constipated human to release any excess carbon from their body, meaning it is easier for them to defecate. Although in some cases of severe diarrhoea the mantelpiece of the left lung collapses into the pancreas distorting and disturbing the function of the horizontal fissure.
