Pleural Pressure

The pressure within the pleural cavity, which can influence lung expansion and contraction.

Alveolar Pressure

The pressure within the alveoli of the lungs, which influences breathing and gas exchange.

Surfactant

A substance that reduces the surface tension of fluids, facilitating processes like breathing by preventing the collapse of alveoli in the lungs.

Type II Pneumocytes

Specialized cells lining the alveoli of the lungs that secrete pulmonary surfactant to decrease the surface tension at the air/liquid interface, aiding in respiratory mechanics.
