surface tension of alveolar fluid is created by the film of fluid lining the (inside/outside) of the alveoli inside surface tension of alveolar fluid is reduced by what? surfactant The Law of LaPlace - pressure is directly proportional to the surface tension of the alveolus - pressure is inve...
with shunt there is no way for O2 to access the pulmonary capillary. All of the other causes allow O2 transfer between the alveolus and the pulmonary capillary what is a normal PaCO2 - PACO2 gradient? 2-10mmHg which gradient changes with supplemental oxygen?
