Because of these lymphatic vessels. two opposing forces the pressure in the pleural cavity (which is also the basis of the negative pressure becomes negative. found in most tissue spaces of the body).

Expand Transpulmonary pressure (Extending Pressure) The difference between the alveolar pressure (Palv) and the pleural pressure(Ppl) TPp = Palv-Ppl It is a measure of the elastic forces in the lungs that tend to collapse the lungs ( the recoil pressure). It prevents lung collapse. زي اﻟﺑﻠوﻧﺔ اﻟﻣﺗﻔوﺧﺔ The bigger the volume of the ﺑﻘوة، ﺑﯾرﺟﻊ ﻣﻧﮭﺎ lung the higher will be its اﻟﮭواء ﺑﻘوة .tendency to recoil The atmospheric pressure is 760 mmHg Summary Pressure During rest During inspiration During expiration Intra-alveolar pressure (0 cmH20) 760 mmHg (-1cmH2o) 759 mmHg (+1cmH2o) 761 mmHg (-4 mmHg) 756 mmHg (-5mmHg) 755 mmHg (just for your information) Intrapleural pressure -5cmH2o -7.5cmH2o -6.5 mmHg according to Linda Transpulmonary pressure (just for your information) TPp= 0 - (-5)= +5 cmH2o TPp= -1 - (-7.5)= +6.5 cmH2o TPp = Palv-Ppl TPp= +1 -(-6.5)= +7.5 mmHg The Intra-alveolar pressure is normally zero (i.e . atmospheric) during the pause. At the start Transpulmonary pressure: of inspiration, it decreases to about -I mmHg During expiration. Intrapleural due to lung expansion. This allows the entry pressure increases, becoming less -ve, Is the pressure that prevents of about 500 ml of atmospheric air into the which helps the lung to recoil. As a lung from collapsing.

This moves 500ml of air outwards from the lungs and as a result, it decreases gradually till becoming atmospheric again by the end of expiration . Compliance of the Lung (CL) Definition The extent to which the lungs will expand for each unit increase in the transpulmonary pressure. In other words: it’s the measure of the lungs ability to stretch and expand. -Transpulmonary pressure = Alveolar pressure - pleural pressure i.e the ratio of the change in the lung volume produced per unit change in the distending pressure. For both lungs in adult = 200ml of air / cm H2O For lungs and thorax together = 110 ml/cm H2O Example ﻧﻘﺺ ﻷن ﻣﻄﺎطﯿﺔ اﻟﺜﻮراﻛﺲ ﻗﻠﯿﻠﺔ A thick rubber is considered to have a low Compliance A thin rubber is considered to have a high ﻣطﺎط = compliance Rubber CL = Change in Volume / Change in Pressure Helpful video Imagine we have tissue A and tissue B. if we increase the pressure in both by +1 mmHg, and tissue A increases its volume more than B. Then we conclude that the compliance of A is higher that B Lung compliance diagram The characteristics of the lung 1 compliance diagram are determined by 2 the elastic forces of the lungs. These can be divided into: ⅓ is due to the elastic forces of the lung tissue itself ( elastin, collagen). ⅔ of the elastic forces caused by surface tension of the fluid that lines inside walls of the alveoli and other lungs air space. This is a Compliance diagram in a healthy person. This diagram shows compliance of the lungs alone Diseases affecting the lung compliance Increase in lung compliance: Reduce in lung compliance: Emphysema increases the compliance Lung compliance is reduced in of the lungs because it destroys the pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary alveolar septal tissue rich with elastic edema, diseases of the chest wall fibers that normally opposes lung (kyphosis, scoliosis, paralysis of the muscle, etc….). expansion.
