Answer:
The force of surface tension in the lungs is so great that without something to reduce the surface tension, the airways would collapse after exhalation, making re-inflation during inhalation much more difficult and less effective. Collapse of the lungs is called alectasis.

Answer:
B) astrocytes
Explanation:
Cells other than neurons that play an important role in the normal functioning of nervous system are called Neuroglia or glial cells.
Satellite cells, astrocytes, schwann cells and oligodendrocytes are all examples of glial cells.
⇒Satellite cells provide protection and nutrition to cells in peripheral nervous system ( peripheral nerves and ganglia).
⇒<em><u>Astrocytes</u></em> play an important role in central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They provide protection to neurons, scavenge ions, form the blood-brain barrier and also maintain extracellular environment suitable for neuronal functioning.
⇒Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system and myelinate the axons of neurons.
⇒Oligodendrocytes are found in central nervous system and produce myelin sheath which myelinates (insulates) axons of neurons. Their function is similar to schwann cells but in the central nervous system.
From the above discussion it is clear that the answer is B) Astrocytes as these maintain a suitable chemical environment for the neurons.
