What is the function of the surface of fluid lining the alveolar?
The fluid lining the inner alveolar membrane is called surfactant. It helps reduce the surface tension in the alveoli, which prevents them from collapsing in on themselves every time we exhale.
Why are the walls of the windpipe made of stiff material?
So it doesn't collapse when you breathe. =]
When was Eyeball Chat created?
Eyeball Chat was created on 2000-10-03.
Which prevents the elodea cells from completely collapsing?
Plasmolysis is the reason because it always has water to keep it full.
What is an example of an organism that benefits from reducing surface tension?
Humans benefit greatly from the work of Pulmonary surfactant which reduces the surface tension in the alveoli of the lungs. This reduction in alveolar surface tension prevents the alveoli from collapsing and thus causing suffocation.
The middle coat of the eyeball that contains pigment which prevents light from scattering in the eyeball is?
Choriod
What is the watery fluid between the cornea and the lens of the eyes?

How the system helps the body?

What prevents windpipe from collapsing?
Rings of Cartilage prevents the windpipe from collapsing.cartilage ringsIt is constructed of inflexible cartilage that always maintains it's shape.
Why must you seal an chest wound?

Which principle normally prevents the alveoli from collapsing during expiration?
cardiac output can be determined by the following formula
What structure keeps a contact lens on the cornea and prevents it from becoming lodged on the posterior surface of the eyeball?
conjunctiva
Why doesnt a protostar form a black hole?
The pressure within a protostar counters gravity and prevents the star from collapsing further.
