the Respiratory smooth muscle. This accounts for 20% of the

Respiratory work done.

ELASTIC RESISTANCEELASTIC RESISTANCE Is offered by the elastic recoil of

the lungs during inspiration. Decreases in diseases like

Emphysema. Increases in Fibrosis. Contributes to 60% of the work

FUNCTIONS:•Reduces the surface tension of

the thin film of alveolar fluid. This makes it easier to inflate the lungs.

• Increases the Lung Compliance.

•Prevents the Tissue fluid formation.
