1) Surfactant keeps it from collapsing completely, but
2) Air pressure inflates it beyond the minimum
(the lower pressure around it is developed by the chest wall & the diaphragm.)
alveolar fluid
The type of air that keeps a beach ball inflated is kinetic energy.
This condition is known as emphysema. It is characterized by damage to the alveoli in the lungs, leading to a loss of elasticity in the alveolar walls. Over time, this can result in the alveoli becoming over-inflated and eventually rupturing, causing difficulty breathing and other respiratory issues.
Intrathoracic pressure
If you mean a hot air balloon, it is the expansion of the air caused by the propane burner. If you mean any balloon, it is the ability of the material to hold the air or gas inside which keeps it inflated.
NO
A balloon remains inflated because the pressure of the air or gas inside the balloon is greater than the pressure of the air outside the balloon. This creates a force that keeps the rubber surface of the balloon stretched tight, preventing it from collapsing.
The word "cat" is an example of a compound alveolar as it is composed of the alveolar consonants /k/ and /t/.
The part that keeps the eye inflated is the vitreous humor, a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina. This clear gel helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides structural support. Additionally, the pressure created by the aqueous humor, which is produced in the anterior chamber of the eye, also contributes to maintaining the eye's shape and proper functioning.
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
Alveolar ridge in Yoruba can be translated as "ilẹ̀ iigboori."
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease of the lungs.
