Question

Under normal circumstances,which of the following would result from an increase in transpulmonary pressure?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in transpulmonary pressure would cause the lungs to expand, which would result in inhalation/inspiration. Transpulmonary pressure is the difference between the intrapulmonary pressure and the intrapleural pressure. When the intrapulmonary pressure is lower than the intrapleural pressure, air flows into the lungs causing inhalation/inspiration. Conversely, when the intrapulmonary pressure is higher than the intrapleural pressure, air flows out of the lungs causing exhalation/expiration.
