    What is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)?

    Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a condition primarily affecting premature babies. Due to their underdeveloped lungs, they lack sufficient pulmonary surfactant, causing breathing difficulties and lung collapse.

    What is pulmonary surfactant?

    Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins, primarily dipalmitoyl lecithin. It reduces surface tension in the alveoli of the lungs, preventing the collapse of air sacs and facilitating normal breathing.

    What is lecithin's role in pulmonary surfactant?

    Lecithin is a type of phospholipid that is a key component of pulmonary surfactant. It helps to lower surface tension in the alveoli, allowing for proper lung function.

    Explain the connection between RDS and lecithin.

    Premature babies often experience RDS because their lungs haven't developed enough to produce sufficient amounts of lecithin, a crucial part of pulmonary surfactant. This lack of surfactant causes lung collapse and breathing difficulties.
