Both the elastic property of the lung and the air :water interface contribute to the overall recoil of the lung. What are the relative contributions of the elastic property and the air: water interface to the recoil of the lung? A)both contribute equally to the recoil of the lung. B)the elastic tissue contributes ~33% to the recoil of the lung. C)the air:water interface contributes ~33% to the recoil of the lung. D)the elastic tissue contributes ~67% to the recoil of the lung. E)the air:water interface contributes ~90% to the recoil of the lung. With respect to LaPlace's Law, the amount of pressure needed to keep alveoli open when surfactant is missing will be A)increased B)decreased C)stay the same E)all of the above
