Static lung compliance increases when the lung tissue becomes more distensible, allowing it to expand more easily with a given change in pressure. Factors that can contribute to increased compliance include loss of elastic recoil due to conditions like emphysema and the presence of surfactant, which reduces surface tension in the alveoli. Additionally, conditions that lead to lung overinflation can also result in increased compliance. However, it is important to note that while increased compliance may facilitate breathing, it can also impair effective gas exchange.

What causes static compliance to decrease?
Static compliance decreases due to factors like pulmonary fibrosis, lung tissue scarring, or poor surfactant function which results in reduced ability of the lungs to stretch and expand during inhalation, leading to decreased lung capacity and restricted airflow.
What is lung compliance?
Lung compliance = Lung expandability
What determines lung compliance?
Lung compliance is determined by the elasticity of the lung tissue and the surface tension of the alveoli. Compliance decreases with conditions that stiffen the lung tissue, such as fibrosis, or increase surface tension, such as pulmonary edema. Compliance also decreases with aging and certain diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
What effect does a deficiency of surfactant exert on lung compliance?
Increased compliance result
What happens to amp draw as static pressure increases?
As your static pressure increases your Amp draw will drop
Ease with which lung tissue can be stretched?
Compliance
What is the difference between chest wall compliance and lung compliance, and how do they affect overall respiratory function?
Chest wall compliance refers to the ability of the chest wall to expand and contract during breathing, while lung compliance refers to the ability of the lungs to stretch and expand. Chest wall compliance can affect the pressure inside the chest cavity, while lung compliance affects the ease of lung expansion and air flow. Together, they determine how easily air can move in and out of the lungs, impacting overall respiratory function.
What is the effect of execersing on the rate of inhalation on lung capacity?
Exercising increases the lung capacity.
What characteristics of normal lung tissue are missing from diseased tissue?
the two main characteristics of normal lung tissue that may be affected in diseased individuals are either Compliance or Elasticity. compliance is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it to expand elasticity is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it go back to its former shape and size. elasticity is usually affected in chronic obstructive conditions like emphysema compliance is usually affected in restrictive lung dysfunctions like pulmonary fibrosis.
What happens to lung compliance with aging?
In aging there is usually a gradual INCREASE in the compliance of the lung tissue (i.e. a decrease in tissue elasticity). This means that the lung is more easily distended but then has more difficulty in recoiling to it's original state and so exhalation can become difficult. The compliance of the chest wall is decreased in aging, and respiratory muscles weaken, adding to this effect.
What relationship exists between the static frictional force and the normal force of an object?
The static frictional force is directly proportional to the normal force acting on an object. As the normal force increases, the maximum static frictional force that can be exerted on the object also increases.
What happens to the static friction force as the mass is increased?
A force is a force, and independent of whatever it is is being applied to. One can discuss inertial, gravitational, or a frictional forces, and these things increase proportionally with mass increases.
