The anatomy of the inner ear is dominated by large fluid-filled spaces. The inner ear consists of a complex series of tubes, running through the temporal bone of the skull. The bony tubes (sometimes called the bony labyrinth) are filled with a fluid called perilymph. Within this bony labyrinth is a second series of tubes made out of delicate cellular structures (called the membranous labyrinth). The fluid inside these membranous structures is called endolymph, The different spaces of both the perilymphatic and endolymphatic compartments are interconnected by a series of ducts.

Alveoli are most likely to collapse (resulting in atelectasis) when which condition exists

Marrrta [24]

Atelectasis: Atelectasis is a complete or partial collapse of the entire lung or area of the lung. It occurs when the tiny air sacs (alveoli) within the lung become deflated or possibly filled with alveolar fluid. . General anesthesia is a common cause of atelectasis. It changes your regular pattern of breathing and affects the exchange of lung gases, which can cause the air sacs (alveoli) to deflate.

Conditions when atelectasis occurs: There are four primary causes of atelectasis: hypoventilation, airway obstruction, airway compression, and adhesions.

Hypoventilation

Hypoventilation, or breathing at an abnormally slow rate, is common during surgery, especially with general anesthesia, or when a person is placed on a respirator. The very act of shallow breathing prevents air from getting to the alveoli, causing the air sacs to deflate and collapse.

Airway Obstruction

Airway obstruction may be caused when something blocks a passage either inside the lung (like a mucus plug or a foreign object) or outside of the lungs (like a tumor which presses on the airway and causes obstruction).

Airway Compression

Compression of the airways is often caused by the buildup of fluid in the space surrounding the lungs.
