What is an accumulation of air in the pleural space causing the lung to not expand fully or to collapse?
This is a pneumothorax or collapsed lung. It is generally brought on by a puncture in the chest that allows air into the chest cavity outside the lung. As the diaphragm expands, air is drawn in through the hole in the chest wall, and the lung will not fully expand. After a short period and continued respiration, the lung will not be able to inflate. Gas exchange will then be seriously reduced or not occur at all, and the victim willl rapidly begin to suffocate. Use the link below for more information.

What is the thin fluid filled space also known as the pleural space?
The thin fluid-filled space in the chest between the two pleural layers is called the pleural cavity. This space helps the lungs expand and contract during breathing by reducing friction between the layers of the pleura.
Does the pleural membrane hold the lungs air tight?
Yes, the pleural membrane helps create a seal around the lungs, which assists in maintaining their inflation by creating negative pressure in the pleural cavity. This negative pressure allows the lungs to expand during inhalation and prevents them from collapsing.
Which symbols do you use to expand and collapse the display of folder hierarchies?
+ and -
What Pleural fluid in the human body contained between?
Each lung lies within the pleural cavity within which the lung expands. The pleural cavity is lined by two transparent elastic membranes called the pleura/pleural membranes. The inner pleuron covers the lung the outer pleuron is in contact with the walls of the thorax and the diaphragm. A thin layer of lubricating fluid between the pleural membranes allows them to glide over each other when the lungs expand and contract during breathing. So your answer is the pleural fluid lies between the pleural membranes.
What can Business documents can include?
includes the ability to collapse or expand a document
Which of the muscles listed does not aid ventilation 1 abdominal 2 pleural 3 accessory 4 respiratory?
Pleural muscles do not aid in ventilation. The pleural space acts as a lubricated surface that allows the lungs to expand and contract during breathing, but it is not a muscle that directly influences the movement of air in and out of the lungs.
What is the cavity that surrounds the lungs?
pleural cavity.
Why the patient of pleural effusion should lie towards the side of the lung which is having pleural effusion?
Positioning the patient with pleural effusion on the affected side helps improve ventilation and blood flow to the more functional lung, aiding in better oxygenation. This position can also help re-expand the collapsed lung and promote drainage of the pleural effusion.
Will the sun expand?
It will indeed expand to a red giant in about 5 billion years. It will then subsequently collapse to a white then brown dwarf star.
What is the function of the pleural sac the thing that surrounds your lungs?
the pleural sac or pleural membrane maintains the negative pressure that is in your lungs. negative pressure inside the lungs is very important since it allows atmospheric air to enter your lungs each time you inhale, much like a suction. the pleural sac also allows your lungs to expand easily since it contains a lubricant called pleural fluid.
Can a star be born whenever a nebula expands?
No. Stars are born when nebulae collapse, not when they expand.
Explain what causes the lungs to inflate in light of the fact that the lungs themselves do not have any skeletal muscle?
The inter coastal muscles in between the ribs make the ribs expand. the pleural membrane is like a slippery skin that sticks to the ribs and when they expand the lungs expand aswell.
