Turbo Core Technology. Performance when ââyou need it. Think of your PC as a race car with a powerful turbocharger sitting under the hood. You're driving along at a casual pace when the urge to speed up grips you, so you flip the switch to turbo, and â in an instant â your engine's full capacity kicks in and rockets you down the road.
Pulmonary Surfactant. Surfactant is a complex substance containing phospholipids and a number of apoproteins. Surfactant reduces surface tension throughout the lung, thereby contributing to its general compliance. Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active lipoprotein complex formed by type II alveolar cells.ottom left: the phospholipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC). Center right: sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) AOT is a rare surfactant-it is soluble and active in both oil and water. Botton right: pentaethylene glycol monodecyl ether (C12EO5), a non-ionic surfactant. Top of Page.
Without normal pulmonary surfactant present, the attractive forces of the water will cause the alveoli to collapse. Pulmonary surfactant is a complex substance in the lungs which reduces the surface tension of water and therefore, prevents the collapse of the alveoli.Surfactant also plays a role in defending the lungs from bacteria and viruses.ackground. The surface of the tiny air sacs of the lungs (alveoli), where oxygen goes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide comes out, is coated in a thin watery layer that contains water and pulmonary surfactant.
