What else can I help you with?
Equilibration of pressure between the intrapleural space and the alveoli will lead to?
A pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung.
Breath sounds of exudates in the alveoli?
Exudates in the alveoli cause rales (crackles).
What makes it difficult to inflate the alveolar space?
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 is the cause of alveoli in lungs?
alveoli are tiny branches of the lungs where blood travels to be oxygenated so it is useful to the rest of the body.
Does emphysema cause labored breathing?
Yes, shortness of breath and labored breathing is one symptom of chronic lung conditions. The person cannot get enough O2 or get rid of enough CO2 because many of the alveoli are collapsed.
What is the purpose of the pores of kohn?
The pores of Kohn are small openings in the walls of alveoli in the lungs that facilitate the interconnection between adjacent alveoli. Their primary purpose is to allow for the equalization of air pressure and the sharing of air between neighboring alveoli, which improves gas exchange efficiency. Additionally, they help in maintaining lung stability by providing alternate pathways for airflow, especially if some alveoli are blocked or collapsed. This interconnectedness enhances overall respiratory function.
What would cause Both radiator hoses to collapsed?
Radiator cap
What kinds of medical conditions may result in a collapsed lung?
All of these can cause it: cystic fibrosis, asthma, COPD, lung cancer..an infection in the lungs can also cause a collapsed lung. And, of course, trauma.
What connects the respiratory and circulatory system?
Alveoli
How can a puncture in the thoracic cavity be dangerous?
It can rupture the pleural cavity and cause a collapsed lung.
Would an orca with a collapsed dorsal fin swimming forward at high speed cause the fin to flop upright?

What would cause a Lincoln Navigator to start then die?
