Surfactant Surfactants are also known as ‘surface active agents’. They are usually organic compounds that contain hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads. They have wetting‚ emulsifying and dispersing properties‚ which can be used to improve the wetting ability of water‚ break up stains and keep the dirt in the water solution to prevent re-deposition of the dirt onto the surface from which it has just been removed. Surfactant can act as wetting agent as it lowers the surface tension of water.

Respiratory Rate and Tidal Volume [pic] The total amount of air moved in and out of the lungs each minute (pulmonary ventilation) depends upon 2 factors: size of each breath (tidal volume) and number of breaths/minute (respiratory rate). For example‚ suppose your tidal volume is 500 mL (0.5 liters) and you breathe 15 times/minute. Your pulmonary ventilation = 15 breaths/min x 0.5 L/breath = 7.5 L/min. Pulmonary Ventilation = (Respiratory rate; breaths per minute) x Pulmonary Ventilation

Pulmonary surfactant is a substance found on the alveolar wall that lowers alveolar surface tension. This decreases the muscle effort required to open and ventilate the lungs. Natural‚ endogenous surfactant is a compound composed of phospholipids‚ neutral lipids‚ and proteins that forms a layer between the alveolar surface and the alveolar gas and reduces alveolar collapse by decreasing surface tension within the alveoli.

Lung Volume Activity The graph below is called a spirograph. It represents the amount of air that moves into and out of the lungs with each breath‚ as measured by a device called a spirometer. (The terms that are used to describe the features of a spirograph are explained below.) • Tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled in a normal breathing movement when the body is at rest. • Inspiratory reserve volume is the additional volume of air that can be taken into the lungs

breathing couldn’t happen without our respiratory system. With each breath‚ you take in air through your nose and mouth‚ as you do so your lungs will gradually fill up and eventually empty out. For some surfactant deficient newly born infants however each breath takes immense exertion. This exertion makes each tiny breath like the very first. “The majority of preterm infants less than 30 weeks gestation require extra assistance in the delivery room. Exogenous surfactant therapy has been an integral part

The respiratory system of birds differs significantly from that found in mammals‚ containing unique anatomical features such as air sacs. The lungs of birds also do not have the capacity to inflate as birds

Martinez Anatomy and physiology II TTH 2:20 “Demonstrating the Importance of Surfactant: Lab Report” Introduction Surfactant is an essential component for the respiratory system to function properly. This experiment was administrated to help us understand better the role of surfactant in the alveolar system. Surfactant is a detergent-like substance produced by the Type II alveolar cells in the alveoli. Surfactant is produced to make it easier for people to breath by reducing the surface tension
