In this video I have explained about surfactant, composition of surfactant, differentiation of pneumocytes into type I pneumocytes and type II pneumocytes. Type of phospholipid in surfactant the major being dipalmitoyl phosphotidyl choline which is also called as dipalmitoyl lecithin. Deficiency of surfactant is seen in pre-mature babies and it will lead to infant respiratory distress syndrome which is seen shortly after birth with apnea, tachycardia, respiratory grunting, flaring of nostril, cyanosis, chest wall retraction, atelectasis, ground glass appearance with air branchogram.
Let me introduce myself to you!!

- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

Surfactant and Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome (IRDS)
In this video I have explained about surfactant, composition of surfactant, differentiation of pneumocytes into type I pneumocytes and type II pneumocytes. Type of phospholipid in surfactant the major being dipalmitoyl phosphotidyl choline which is also called as dipalmitoyl lecithin.
