1-27 of 27
# Term Definition From Set
1 surfactant an agent that disrupts the H bonds of water and reduces surface tension Lecture Exam 3- The Respiratory System
2 Surfactant An amphipathic molecule secreted by cells in the alveoli (type 2 alveolar cells) tha reducs surface tension on the inside of the alveolar walls. This prevents the alveoli from collapsing upon exhale and sticking together, thus reducing the effort required for inspiration. MCAT Biology
3 surfactant Lipoprotein that decreases the surface tension of alveoli and contributes to their elasticity, thereby reducing the work of breathing. Chapter 7 - Respiratory System
4 surfactant the complex liquid substance needed for sustained inflammation of the air sacs P.E. Lungs and Thorax
5 surfactant lipid molecule, produced by alveolar cells, that coat the alveolar surfaces Respiratory System vocab
6 surfactant substance produced by the lungs that reduces surface tension within the alveoli Respiration
7 Surfactant able to break down the normal surface tension of water Chemistry Ch 9-10
8 Surfactant An amphipathic molecule secreted by cells in the alveoli (type 2 alveolar cells) tha reducs surface tension on the inside of the alveolar walls. This prevents the alveoli from collapsing upon exhale and sticking together, thus reducing the effort required for inspiration. Biology
9 surfactant substance covering the surface of the respiratory membrane inside the alveolus; reduces surface tension and prevents alveoli from collapsing Respiratory System
10 surfactant surface active agent that reduces surface tension (like soaps) chemistry1
11 surfactant substance produced by the lungs that reduces surface tension within the alveoli newborns
12 surfactant a wetting agent such as soap or detergent Chemistry 4/16 Test Vocabulary
13 surfactant things that break surface tension Chemistry
14 surfactant a class of salts, valued for their cleansing properties, whose anions possess a negatively charged "head" and a long nonpolar tail Chemistry Solutuions
15 surfactant reduces surface tension of water Anatomy Respiration
16 surfactant Respiratory distress syndrome results from a deficiency of pulmonary ___________in the lungs of a premature infant. A&P 101 Final
17 surfactant Respiratory distress syndrome results from a deficiency of pulmonary ___________in the lungs of a premature infant. Chap 27, 28, 29
18 surfactant a compound, such as soap, that lowers the surface tension of water by disrupting hydrogen bonds between water molecules; also called a surface active agent OLSH Chemistry Chapter 13 Vocab
19 Surfactant fatty type fluid that lines alveoli and keeps it from sticking to itself Veterinary Science : A & P (Final Exam Review)
20 Surfactant Fatty type fluid which breaks down the surface tension w/in alveoli. Needed to breath. Anatomy and Physilology: Respiratory System
21 Surfactant This subtance, produced by babies, enables their lungs to function properly after they are born. Anatomy Chapter 13
22 surfactant coat alveolus and keep them from collapsing State Board review 2
23 surfactant what is the name for a substance that changes the surface tension of a liquid? final mixup
24 surfactant substance produced by the lungs that reduces the surface tension within the alveoli Respiratory System
25 Surfactant Breathing properly requires the presence of what compound that affects surface tension of alveoli in the lungs CSET-SCIENCE
26 surfactant liproprotein that reduces surface tension inside alveoli so they do not adhere to each other and collapse Respiration
27 Surfactant is produced....it decreases the surface tension w/in the alveoli and permits inflation FON26 labor and delivery
