Professor Zach Murphy will teach you about Surface Tension and Surfactant in Alveoli in this lecture. We will outline the significance of the air-water interaction in the lungs' alveoli. We talk about how this air-water interaction increases the tension within the alveolar walls, increasing the collapsing pressure of the alveoli. We also discuss Laplace's law and show a diagram of the histology of the alveoli. In addition, we talk about surfactants and their function to naturally act to decrease surface tension. In the presence of a pathology, when surface tension is high, and surfactant production is low, this can lead to infant respiratory distress syndrome, which is described in this lecture.
