What is the fluid that lines the alveoli is produced by?
what is the name of the liquid layer that lines the alveoli
What is the fluid in the alveoli called?
The fluid in the alveoli of the lungs is called pulmonary surfactant. It helps to reduce surface tension and prevent the alveoli from collapsing, allowing for efficient gas exchange during respiration.
Which fluid is filled in foetus lungs at 8th month?
At around the 8th month of gestation, the lungs of the fetus are filled with a fluid called amniotic fluid. This fluid is crucial for lung development and helps prepare the fetus for breathing air after birth. The lungs also begin producing surfactant, a substance that reduces surface tension and prevents the alveoli from collapsing, which is essential for proper breathing once the baby is born.
What is the serous fluid reduces surface tension?
Surfactants, which are molecules that lower surface tension, can be found in serous fluid. These molecules help prevent alveoli in the lungs from collapsing by reducing the surface tension of the fluid lining the alveoli.
Reduces the surface tension of the fluid in the alveoli?
Surfactant, a substance produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs, reduces the surface tension of fluid in the alveoli. This helps to prevent the collapse of alveoli during expiration and facilitates the exchange of gases in the lungs.
What term describes a fine crackling or bubbling sounds when there is fluid in the alveoli?
Crackles: Fine crackling or bubbling sounds, commonly heard during inspiration when there is fluid in the alveoli; also called rales.
The alveoli in the lungs exchange oxygen with what fluid inside the body?
blood
What do the lungs contain?
Alveoli, pleura fluid, lung tissue, blood
What is filled fluid?
A closed sac with fluid in it
What is a blastocoele?
A blastocoele is the fluid-filled cavity in the blastula.
What is the medical term meaning fluid-filled cavities in the brain?
The ventricles are the fluid-filled cavities of the brain.
