The alveoli have a high surface tension due to a liquid film that covers their walls, making it difficult to inflate them. Additionally, the presence of surfactant helps to reduce surface tension in the alveoli, making inflation easier. When the alveoli are collapsed or have decreased compliance, it can also make it challenging to inflate them.
What else can I help you with?
What will happen to the pressure inside the balloon as you inflate it?
The pressure inside the balloon will increase as you inflate it because the volume of the air is being decreased as more air is added, leading to a higher concentration of air molecules in the same space. This results in an increase in pressure.
What makes a black hole such a mysterious and intriguing cosmic phenomenon?
A black hole is mysterious and intriguing because it is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This makes it invisible and difficult to study directly. Additionally, black holes have properties that challenge our understanding of physics, such as their ability to warp space and time. These characteristics make black holes a fascinating and enigmatic cosmic phenomenon.
What is difficult to compress or force into a a smaller space?
Materials that are rigid and lack flexibility, such as solid objects like rocks or metals, are difficult to compress or force into a smaller space. Additionally, substances that are tightly packed, like dense gases or liquids, can also be challenging to compress.
What happens to a balloon when pressure becomes less?
When the internal pressure in a balloon falls, the balloon get smaller and less buoyant.
Can you inflate a balloon in a bottle with a straw sticking out of the bottle why?
Yes you can if all conditions were perfect. By that I mean that the bottle would have to be a near perfect vacuum by sucking out the air from the bottle with the straw. The vacated air from the bottle would be replaced by the baloon stretching to fill the space left by the air. You would have no need to blow into the baloon as the vacuum would do the work for you.
What is an alveolar dead space?
An alveolar dead space is the volume of air in the alveoli of the lungs which does not partake in gas exchange.
The respiratory disease that causes abnormal dilation of the alveolar space is?
emphysema
What respiratory disease causes abnormal dilation of the alveolar space?
emphysema
How can we prove that matter occupies space?
Inflate a balloon.
How many inches of space does the air bag need to inflate?
space between is 25cm
In which layer of the alveolar membrane are the cleanup cells located?
The cleanup cells, also known as alveolar macrophages, are located in the alveolar space within the alveolar membrane. They play a crucial role in clearing debris, bacteria, and other particles from the lungs to maintain respiratory health.
What is alveolar dead space?
Alveolar dead space is the difference between anatomical and physiologic dead space, representing the space of alveoli occupied by air that does not participate in alveolar ventillation (oxygen-carbon di oxide exchange). Anatomical dead space: the Airways of mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and the broncheoles. Equipment dead space is the volume of equipment that occurs in rebreathing of gases. Physiologic dead space is the sum of the anatomic and alveolar dead spaces Its volume VD is determined by measuring the partial pressure of carbon di oxide in a sample of exhaled gas (PE) and with tidal volum e(VT) using the formula VD/VT =[ (PCo2-PECo2)/PaCo2
How can you prove that a air takes space?
Blow up a balloon or inflate a tire.
How does a diaphragam help in inhalation?
The diaphragm flattens to help inhalation. This creates more space in the chest cavity, so the pressure drops which causes a vacuum. This makes air rush in and inflate the lungs.
What is an alveolar rupture?
An alveolar rapture refers to a situation where the alveolus raptures as a result of increased trans alveolar pressure with less pressure in the adjacent intestinal space. The rapture is dangerous because the amount of pulmonary congestion or obstruction that prevents the expansion of the lung is immeasurable, thereby leaving no criteria for safe pressures.
Why respiratory minute volume does not represent all air that reaches the alveolar surface?
Due to the presence of dead space
What is the Correct formula to calculate the alveolar minute ventilation?
the dead space must also be factored in, so the equation would be: RR(tidal volume-dead space)
