Answer #1

A surfactant reduces the surface tension of the liquid. In case of alveoli, the rhythmic motion of surfactant reduces its mucosal fluid or alveolar fluid surface tension, this is accompanied by an increase in surface area. The increased surface area enhances the gaseous exchange through the alveoli.
