17
Q

The negative intrapleural pressure is caused by 2 forces:

  • Two collapsing inward forces
    • [] recoil of lungs
    • [] [] of alveolar fluid
  • One outward inflating force
    • [] of the chest wall pulls the thorax outward
A
  • Two collapsing inward forces
    • Elastic recoil of lungs
    • Surface tension of alveolar fluid
  • One outward inflating force
    • Elasticity of the chest wall pulls the thorax outward
18
Q

The greater tha transpulmonary pressure, the [] the lungs.

A

Larger

19
Q

What happens if intrapleural pressure equals or rises above intrapulmonary pressure?

A

Pneumothorax.

20
Q

Pneumothorax:

A
  • Collapse
  • Spring out
21
Q
