When the surface air reaches the Equator‚ it gets heated and rises to the top of the troposphere‚ where it spreads back toward the poles. When it gets to the poles‚ it descends back to the surface again to complete the cycle.

Pulmonary surfactant is a substance found on the alveolar wall that lowers alveolar surface tension. This decreases the muscle effort required to open and ventilate the lungs. Natural‚ endogenous surfactant is a compound composed of phospholipids‚ neutral lipids‚ and proteins that forms a layer between the alveolar surface and the alveolar gas and reduces alveolar collapse by decreasing surface tension within the alveoli. Surfactant replacement therapy rescue treatment a few hours after birth in
