Elastic Behaviors of the Lung and Work in Breathing Mechanics
This chapter explores the time-dependent elastic behaviors of the lung, discussing surface tension, surfactant, hysteresis, and respiratory compliance. It also delves into factors affecting chest wall compliance and the concept of functional residual capacity. Additionally, the chapter explains the differences between slow and fast alveoli, time constants in respiratory physiology, and the concept of work in breathing mechanics.
