What is the difference between a wing and a airfoil?
there is not much difference between them but a wing is usually attached to a bird or a plane and the airfoil is attached in a planes' engine
What is the difference between a wing and an airfoil?
the difference is that the wing is attached to the bussom of a bird and an airfoil is attached to the clock of the plane.
What is the difference between alveolar sac and an alveolus?
Alveolus is a single structure in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, while alveolar sac is a cluster of alveoli where multiple gas exchange processes happen simultaneously. Alveolar sacs are made up of multiple alveoli grouped together.

What is the concept of equal pressure point?
Equal pressure point (EPP) is the point where Intrapleural pressure and Alveolar pressure are equal. This is similar to the Starling resistor concept in the lung. Instead of flow being determined by the difference between alveolar and mouth pressure- flow is determined by the difference between alveolar and Intrapleural pressure difference. In forced expiration, both intrapleural pressure and alveolar pressure will increase. However alveolar pressure will decrease along the length of the airway until a pressure of zero at the mouth, whereas intrapleural pressure will remain the same. Therefore there will be a point where intrapleural pressure will be equal and subsequently greater than alveolar pressure. If the EPP occurs in the larger cartilaginous airways, the airway remains open. However, if the EPP is in the smaller airways, it will collapse. Increasing the force of expiration does not overcome EPP since it will increase both alveolar and intrapleural pressure. Another interesting concept is that EPP moves distally as expiration progresses because as air leaves the alveolar unit, the pressure in the alveolar decreases hence the pressure in the airway decreases as well. EPP is the cause of dynamic airway compression.
