Pneumonia is when fluid collects in the alveoli
what is the name of the liquid layer that lines the alveoli
The fluid in the alveoli of the lungs is called pulmonary surfactant. It helps to reduce surface tension and prevent the alveoli from collapsing, allowing for efficient gas exchange during respiration.
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.
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.
Crackles: Fine crackling or bubbling sounds, commonly heard during inspiration when there is fluid in the alveoli; also called rales.
A closed sac with fluid in it
blood
Alveoli, pleura fluid, lung tissue, blood
A blastocoele is the fluid-filled cavity in the blastula.
The ventricles are the fluid-filled cavities of the brain.
Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
