Water represents alveolar
walls in the lungs, create
surface tension

 ACTIVITY 34: LUNG
COMPLIANCE
Surface Surfactant reduce surface
surfactant tension and increase lung
tension compliance

Surface tension is the force

exerted by water molecules
on the surface of the lung
Lung tissue as those water
compliance molecules pull together,
causes lower lung
compliance.
