Definitions:

Surfactant

A substance that tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved, significant in the lungs for preventing alveolar collapse.

Intra-Alveolar Pressure

The pressure within the alveoli of the lungs, critical in the mechanics of breathing and the exchange of gases.

Alveolar Pressure

The pressure within the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs, which is crucial for the process of breathing and gas exchange.

Pleural Pressure

Pleural pressure is the pressure within the pleural cavity, which can affect breathing dynamics by influencing the expansion and contraction of the lungs.
