When the transpulmonary pressure is greater than zero water is forced out of the lung tissue and collects in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This is known as an transudative pleural effusion.

What happens when pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution?
If a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to a solution or pure water, its water potential increases
When swimming under water pressure becomes greater?
Yes. The water pressure exerted on your body is greater than air pressure, and increases with depth.
Is intrapulmonary pressure greater than or less than?
Yes, typically it is.
When the air pressure in the lungs is greater than the air pressure outside the body you?
at higher altitudes the pressure of air is greater in our lungs as compare to the air pressure outside the body
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is greater than the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is producE?
Greater than ~ Apexfalse - apex;)
When are the AV valves open?
when ventricular pressure becomes greater than atrial pressure
Is air pressure greater at the top of a mountain than at lower elevations?
No, it is greater at the lower elevations.
Is air pressure greater at the top of a mountain than at the lower elevations?
No, it is greater at the lower elevations.
Why is the pressure in arteries much greater than in veins?
Because the arteries have smaller bore than veins. Through smaller cross sectional area blood flows with greater pressure.
Why constant pressure is always greater than constant volume?
You can't compare pressure with volume. Presumably, somebody was talking about something being greater AT constant pressure, compared to constant volume.
When does inspiration occur?
when atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure within the lungs, inspiration occur.
What density does an object have to have to sink in water?
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
