Pulmonary Surfactant Function in Alveoli and Conducting Airways
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1996 Surface tension plays a very important role in aeration of the neonate's lungs. Pulmonary surfactant, which is inadequate in the premature infant, modifies surface tension during the act of breathing and is necessary for maintenance of alveolar stability.
