The Effects of Acidosis on Lungs

When you take water into your lungs, if you can just peer at your lungs, everyone for a second, you're going to find that they are actually branching increasingly smaller tubes. This is like elementary school science. So the question is in the Alveolus or the Alveoli, the little tiny air sacs where you exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the capillaries that bring blood to your lungs,. There's a little something called surfactant and it's this chemical coating around your littletiny air sacs that allow them to open and close. It allows for gas exchange. And before that even happens, your body becomes something called acidotic.
