Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
It is suggested that the phospholipids at the alveolar/air interface exhibit both thermodynamic (equilibrium) and kinetic forces during the course of a respiratory cycle. The alveolae are kept open at full expiration by a residue of nearly pure dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine which is condensed and therefore, incompressible at 37 degrees C. |
