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.

Specifically‚ the lungs play an important role in the body’s energy production through gas exchange. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs when the body breathes in air. In this process‚ a cell’s mitochondria burns the oxygen from the air‚ converting it into ATP‚ also known as energy‚ and yields carbon dioxide and water that the body exhales. Because energy is vital to survival‚ it is necessary for the organs that aid its production to function properly. Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is
