Intrapleural pressure
Which of the statements below accurately describes the relationship between pulmonary volume and pressures?
A. As lung volume increases, the pressure in the lungs decreases, forcing inspiration
B. As lung volume increases, the pressure in the lungs may change, but doesn’t have to.
C. As lung volume increases, the pressure in the lungs also increases, forcing expiration
A
What happens if the intrapleural pressure is equal to the intrapulmonary pressure?
Lung collapses
As the diaphragm CONTRACTS, what happens?
Lung volume increases

False
Surfactant is essential for the expansion of the alveoli. What does surfactant do?
It acts as a detergent and breaks the attraction of water molecules to each other
A lung with reduced compliance would exhibit which of the following characteristics?
A. It would be full of infection
B. It would be too stiff, and be unable to expand normally
C. It would have too much surfactant in the alveoli

B
What is the amount of air that is normally ventilated in one breath (either in OR out)?
Tidal Volume
The volume of air that is left in the conducting zone conduits and does not reach alveoli would be called
