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.

19
Q

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

A

Pneumothorax.

20
Q

Pneumothorax:

  • 1st - without the negative intrapleural pressure to hold the lungs open the lungs [].
  • 2nd - without the negative intrapleural pressure to keep the chest wall from expanidng the chest wall [].
A
  • Collapse
  • Spring out
21
Q
  1. [] collapse of one or more areas ofthe lung
  2. [] air in the intrapleural cavity
  3. [] pneumothorax is a gradual pneumothorax

A
  1. Atelectasis
  2. Pneumothorax
  3. Tension Pneumothorax
    1. It is a small opening where air escapes during inhale , but the hoe is closed during the exhale.
