The major mechanisms that drive pulmonary ventilation are atmospheric pressure (P atm); the air pressure within the alveoli, called alveolar pressure (P alv); and the pressure within the pleural cavity, called intrapleural pressure (P ip).

24 Φεβ 2023 · The major mechanisms that drive pulmonary ventilation are atmospheric pressure (P atm); the air pressure within the alveoli, called intra-alveolar pressure (P alv); and the pressure within the pleural cavity, called intrapleural pressure (P ip).
Pleural pressure, or Ppl, is the pressure surrounding the lung, within the pleural space. During quiet breathing, the pleural pressure is negative; that is, it is below atmospheric pressure. The pleura is a thin membrane which invests the lungs and lines the walls of the thoracic cavity.
1 Μαΐ 2023 · In the case of a pleural effusion, fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity leads to an increase in intrapleural pressure as excess fluid limits inspiration. Inspiration becomes more difficult as the lungs must overcome the increase in intrapleural pressure and resistance to expansion.
Inspiration and expiration are mediated in part by pleural pressure, which is the pleural cavity pressure, and by atmospheric pressure. Alveolar pressure must be negative during inspiration to cause the atmospheric air to be pulled into the smaller radius, as explained by the airflow equation.
24 Ιουλ 2023 · The pleural cavity also maintains a negative intrapleural pressure, which resists the lungs’ natural tendency to collapse and facilitates proper function during respiration. Within the thoracic cavity, the lungs are separated from the thoracic wall by the visceral and parietal pleurae.
