7. Lung compliance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_compliance

   Increased pulmonary compliance may be associated with COPD and emphysema due to loss of alveolar and elastic tissue. Pulmonary surfactant increases compliance by decreasing the surface tension of water. The internal surface of the alveolus is covered with a thin coat of fluid. The water in this fluid has a high surface tension, and provides a ...
