What type of connective tissue allows lung to expand and recoil?
Elastic connective tissue is responsible for allowing the lung to expand during inhalation and recoil during exhalation. It provides the necessary elasticity to maintain the shape and function of the lung during breathing.
What is randomly coiled protein fibers that recoil after being stretch?
Elastic fibers made of the protein elastin has a coiled structure which allows it to stretch and recoil. Fibers can stretch up to 150 percent of their relaxed state length without breaking.
What structure runs the length of the sarcomere through the thick filaments and contributes to the elastic recoil in muscle?
The structure that runs the length of the sarcomere through the thick filaments and contributes to the elastic recoil in muscle is the protein titin. Titin acts as a molecular spring, providing elasticity to the muscle and helping it return to its original length after contraction.
What type of of connective tissue fibers can be stretched without breaking?
Elastic fibers can be stretched without breaking due to their ability to recoil back to their original shape.
How might smoking affect tidal volume?
In a person with emphysema, there is a significant loss of intrinsic elastic recoil in the lung tissue. This loss of elastic recoil occurs as the disease destroys the walls of the alveoli. Airway resistance is also increased as the lung tissue in general becomes more flimsy and exerts less mechanical tethering on the surrounding airways. Thus the lung becomes overly compliant and expands easily. Conversely, a great effort is required to exhale as the lungs can no longer passively recoil and deflate. A noticeable and exhausting muscular effort is required for each exhalation. Thus a person with emphysema exhales slowly. Thus decreasing the tidal volume.

Does surfactant promote elastic recoil of the lungs?
yes
What is elastic recoil?
Elastic recoil refers to the ability of a stretched or deformed material to return to its original shape or size once the deforming force is removed. This phenomenon is commonly seen in elastic materials like rubber bands, blood vessels, and the lungs, where they can stretch and recoil back to their original state. In the case of the lungs, elastic recoil helps in exhaling air by effectively reducing the lung volume.
What is the function of elastic fibers in the trachea?
Longitudinal elastic fibers enable the trachea to stretch and descend with the roots of the lungs during inspiration.
What is the ability to recoil called?
due to elastic nature and if u stretch it more it will reach plastic state and would not recoil
What allows recoil of the muscle fiber when contraction ends?
Elastic filaments
What is the elastic recoil of the aorta on a graph?
If you see the cardiac cycle and you see the dichrotic notch, and there is a slight elevation of the aortic pressure after this notch, that's because of the pressure exerted by the elastic recoil of the aorta. Just imagine a bigger hill, followed by a smaller hill and the indentation between these two hills is the dichrotic notch and the hill after this notch is the graphic representation of the elastic recoil of the aorta. Hope this helps.
What is the force responsible for normal expiration?
The force responsible for normal expiration is passive recoil of the lungs and chest wall. As the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax, the elastic recoil of these structures causes the lungs to decrease in volume, leading to expiration.
What is randomly coiled protein fibers that recoil after being stretch?
Elastic fibers made of the protein elastin has a coiled structure which allows it to stretch and recoil. Fibers can stretch up to 150 percent of their relaxed state length without breaking.
What recoil helps keep blood flowing during ventricular relaxation?
The Elastic Arteries :)
Does loss of elastic recoil move the Equal pressure point from large airways to small airways?
Yes, when the elastic recoil decreases, the compliance increases; the long is more weak; it will collapse sooner, so EPP moved into the small airways.
Which type of blood vessel exhibits elastic recoil to maintain diastolic blood pressure?
Arteries!
