5. Often the lungs of premature infants have
not matured to the point where they are
producing adequate surfactant. Why might this be a
problem?
Experiment: Investigating Intrapleural Pressure
Describe what happens to air flow when one lung is “collapsed”.
What clinical term is used to describe the condition of:
a collapsed lung?
air in the pleural cavity?
3. Why does air enter the pleural cavity when the valve is
open?
4. Why does the lung collapse when the valve is opened? (What forces are causing this to happen?)
5. Does the lung
reinflate once the valve is closed? What must be done in order for
the
lung to reinflate?
