alright Mina, I'll try to do the HBV one

Trans pulmonary pressure is distending pressure because of pressure gradient (difference between alveolar pressure and intrapleural pressure) Recoil pressure is the pressure required to for the lungs to recoil inwards So you need transpulmonary pressure to inflate the lungs You need recoil pressure to recoil the lungs Why do you need trans pulmonary pressure to inflate the lungs? To oppose the inward elastic recoil of the lung at rest

@@acingmedicine So is it correct to say that transpulmonary static pressure = recoil pressure? And transpulmonary static pressure is "not equal" to transpulmonary pressure which distends the lungs? I think that is where my confusion is, sometimes they use complex words for simple stuff haha So a positive recoil pressure = collapsing force which opposes transpulmonary pressure And a negative recoil pressure = expanding force which goes in the same direction as the transpulmonary pressure (which is only applicable for the chest wall because the lungs is always partially distended) Sorry if I made this even more confusing! But I get it now for the most part

@@johnphiliplacerna8720 yes you worded it correctly.
