Question

___________ is a disease of newborns characterized by progressive under aeration of the lungs and a granular appearance.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hyaline Membrane Disease

Explanation:

Hyaline Membrane Disease or the respiratory distress syndrome is a disease caused in newborn babies especially in premature infants due to the absence of the biological surfactant.

A glassy membrane composed of the dead cells and the protein is formed and lines the tiny sacs called alveoli which decreases the volume of the alveoli and difficulty in the exchange of gases in the infants.

Thus, Hyaline Membrane Disease is the correct answer.
