Types of Breathing Resistance in Human Beings | Biology
The air as it enters the lungs meets with two types of resistances: 1. Elastic Resistance 2. Non-Elastic Resistance. Type # 1. Elastic Resistance: Elastic resistance is exerted by the elastic tissue of the lung parenchyma and surface tension of intra-alveolar fluid. Elastic tissues of the lungs obey Hooke's law which means that change in volume of lungs is directly [...]
