Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1PI
Summary Introduction
To determine: The consequences that would result if inflammation caused a buildup of fluid in the alveoli and interstitial spaces.
Introduction: The lungs mainly consist of small, hollow sacs called alveoli. The alveolar walls have capillaries and tiny interstitial spaces.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The interstitial space contains interstitial fluid and a loose network of connective tissue. When the fluid is accumulated in the alveoli and interstitial spaces, this can cause the condition of pulmonary edema. In this condition, the diffusion of gases between alveoli and capillaries is impaired. As a result, the rate of oxygen diffusion into the blood is decreased.
