Surface Tension of Lung Extracts

Abstract
Saline-extractable surface-active material has been found in the lungs of rat. cat. and dog. This material, probably mucoprotein. imparts large hysteresis and characteristic elasticity to the fluid surface. Its effect on lung mechanics has been studied. Its possible influence on diffusion across the alveolar barrier remains to be elucidated.
