    This document summarizes an experiment on the respiratory system mechanics and the effects of surfactant and intrapleural pressure on respiration. The experiment showed that adding more surfactant increased airflow, as it further decreased surface tension in the lungs. When the valve to equalize pressure was closed on the left lung, it collapsed further due to the lower intrapleural pressure, showing that pressure differences influence lung inflation and deflation. Data tables tracked measurements as surfactant and pressures were adjusted.

    Experiment Results
    Predict Question:
    Predict Question 1: What effect will adding more surfactant have on these lungs?
    Your answer : b. Airflows will further increase.

    Predict Question 2: What will happen to the collapsed lung in the left side of the glass bell jar if you close the valve?
    Your answer : d. The lung will collapse further.

    Stop & Think Questions:


    Why did the sequential additions of surfactant change this lung system?
    You correctly answered: a. Surface tension was sequentially decreased.

    Premature infants often have difficulty breathing because the amount of surfactant in their lungs is
    You correctly answered: b. too low.

    What happened to the left side of the bell jar when the valve was opened?
    You correctly answered: b. The intrapleural pressure equalized with the atmospheric pressure.

    Did the collapsed left lung reinflate?


    You correctly answered: b. No, it did not.
