Blueprint FL3: C/P Flashcards
What is pulmonary surfactant and it’s main purpose?
a component of the fluid that lines the alveoli
functions to reduce surface tension to prevent alveolar collapse and decrease the effort needed to inflate the lungs
how does pulmonary surfactant provide its effects?
the surfactant is interspersed between the water at the water-air interface; it reduces the hydrogen bonds between the water molecule to reduce surface tension and allow the alveoli to expand
what happens to entropy as temperature increase
as temp increases, entropy increases
