Video Summary:
Compliance is basically measure of extensibility of lungs. It's change in lung volume per unit change in transpulmonary pressure. It is determined by elastic force exerted by elastin and collagen fingers of lung parenchyma and surface tension of fluid lining the wall of airway. In general compliance is higher at lower lung volume and lesser at higher lung volumes.
