The elastic fibres recoil after the alveoli contract during expiration. The surfactant on the inner surface also helps to stop the alveolar walls 'sticking' together which will stop air from coming due to the pressure not being able to decrease

∙ 13y agowhen the smooth muscles contract it reduces the diameter of the lumen of the airway it deforms the elastic fibres in loose tissue and as smooth muscles relax the elastic fibre recoils to original shape and size this helps widen the airway

What are the tissues in a lung?
shikha
What connective tissues form framework of outer ear?
Elastic Cartilage
Which are connectives tissues?
Elastic fibers in the connective tissue
What develops when nornmally elastic connective tissues are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues?
contracture
2 factors of lung volume?
i. The elastic forces caused by the lung tissue ii. The elastic forces caused by surface tension of fluid the lines the inside walls of alveoli and other lung air spaces
Which connective tissues are branched?
Elastic fibers in the connective tissue
Does asbestos scar lung tissues?
If inhaled, asbestos in air can scar lung tissue.
How do environmental factors affect the health of lung tissues?
Environmental factors like dirt can poorly affect the health of the lung tissues if inhaled. These particles will agitate the tissue.
Why does the stomach contains muscle and elastic tissues?
Because the stomach needs the muscle tissue and the elastic tissue to stretch and digest the food.
Does the lung bring oxygen into the body?
Yes. The blood passes through the lung tissues and gets oxygen.
What anatomic structure adheres directly to lung tissue?
Visceral pleura adheres directly to the lung tissues.
What are the layers of the arter ies and veins?
Upper layer of arteries is made up connective tissues,middle layer of elastic tissues and inner layer of endothelium vein have the same composition but it is relatively less elastic then the arteries.
