exchange across the membrane
what are type 2 alveolar cells? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔surfactant producers
What does surfactant do? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔protein that reduces surface
tension inside the alveolar or respiratory membrane.
helps to interfere with the hydrogen bond (what makes things tighter) and
loosen it so that the alveoli can inflate

radius
what happens to the pressure in the thoracic cavity as your chest expands?
- 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the pressure of the thoracic cavity drops causing
inspiration (Air going in)
