What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the function of the surface of fluid lining the alveolar?
The fluid lining the inner alveolar membrane is called surfactant. It helps reduce the surface tension in the alveoli, which prevents them from collapsing in on themselves every time we exhale.
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 is another name for the air sacs?
i think its called the ALVEOLI
What is an individual air cell called?
An individual air cell is called an alveolus (plural: alveoli) in the lungs. Alveoli are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs during the process of breathing.
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.
What is the serious infection in which fluids collect in the alveoli?
Pneumonia is when fluid collects in the alveoli
What is the fluid that prevents alveoli from collapsing?
The fluid that prevents alveoli from collapsing is called surfactant. Surfactant is a lipoprotein complex produced by the type II alveolar cells in the lungs. It reduces surface tension within the alveoli, allowing them to remain open during exhalation and facilitating efficient gas exchange. Without surfactant, the alveoli would collapse, making breathing difficult.
What is the fluid that lines the alveoli is produced by?
what is the name of the liquid layer that lines the alveoli
True or false the fluid coating the alveoli that reduces surface tension is called surfactant?
True; produced by Type II pneumocytes
What are the tiny air sacs called in the bronchi branches?
Alveoli
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.
What is the function of the surface of fluid lining the alveolar?
The fluid lining the inner alveolar membrane is called surfactant. It helps reduce the surface tension in the alveoli, which prevents them from collapsing in on themselves every time we exhale.
What are small air sacs of lung tissue called?
Alveoli (pulmonis) or just alveoli.
One celled air sacs are called?
These are 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 are the air spaces in the lungs called?
The air spaces in the lungs are called pulmonary alveoli. They are where gas exchange occurs in the lungs of mammals.
