An alveolar rapture refers to a situation where the alveolus raptures as a result of increased trans alveolar pressure with less pressure in the adjacent intestinal space. The rapture is dangerous because the amount of pulmonary congestion or obstruction that prevents the expansion of the lung is immeasurable, thereby leaving no criteria for safe pressures.
EMPHYSEMA
This condition is known as emphysema. It is characterized by damage to the alveoli in the lungs, leading to a loss of elasticity in the alveolar walls. Over time, this can result in the alveoli becoming over-inflated and eventually rupturing, causing difficulty breathing and other respiratory issues.
NO
The word "cat" is an example of a compound alveolar as it is composed of the alveolar consonants /k/ and /t/.
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
Alveolar ridge in Yoruba can be translated as "ilẹ̀ iigboori."
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease of the lungs.
alveolar fluid
Tympanorrhexis is rupture of the eardrum.
Inferior alveolar artery
About 90% of the alveolar surface is made up of type I alveolar cells, also known as type I pneumocytes. These thin, flat cells facilitate gas exchange by allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through easily. The remaining alveolar surface is primarily composed of type II alveolar cells, which produce surfactant to reduce surface tension and prevent alveolar collapse.
Surfactant is produced by the type II alveolar cells in the lungs. These cells secrete surfactant which helps lower surface tension in the alveoli, preventing collapse and facilitating gas exchange.
