Comparison of Lung Compliance Curves. This diagram compares saline-filled and air-filled lungs and lungs affected by different pathologies, including emphysema and fibrosis. The pressure required to inflate saline-filled lungs is lower than normal air-filled lungs. This difference is primarily attributed to the additional surface tension elastic forces present in air-filled lungs due to the fluid lining the alveolar epithelium.
