In this video, we talk about the static properties of the lung. We talk about inflationary and deflationary limbs, transpulmonary pressure, and a little bit about surfactants

You said it the opposite way...the pressure at the bottom is greater than the top?? I think you mean the other way around.

Hi! Thanks for the comment! However, the intrapleural pressure at the bottom is greater than the intrapleural pressure at the top when a person is standing. This is because when a person is standing, gravity pulls the lungs down from the apex toward the diaphragm. This creates a greater partial vacuum at the apex than at the diaphragm. This is why the intrapleural pressure at the apex is more negative than the intrapleural pressure at the bottom when a person is standing. And since the intrapleural pressure at the apex is more negative than the intrapleural pressure at the bottom, this means that the intrapleural pressure is less than that of the base.

A less negative number is larger/greater than a more negative number. Just because the number itself is smaller should not distract us from the fact that there is a negative sign in front of both values. Therefore -2.5 for example is a much greater pressure than -10
