The most essential adaptation to birth is the initiation of breathing, but the airspaces of the

fetal lung are filled with fetal lung fluid. What is fetal lung fluid and how is it cleared from
the airspaces? Fetal lung fluid is secreted by the airway epithelium as a filtrate of the
interstitial fluid of the lung by the active transport of chloride (29). Consequently the
chloride content of fetal lung fluid is high and protein content is very low.
Najbitnija prilagodba na roenje jeste pokretanje disanja, ali zrani prostori plua su ispunjeni
fetalnom tekuinom. ta je fetalna tekuina u pluima i kao se ona uklanja iz zranih prostora
plua!? Fetalna tekuina u pluima se sekretuje preko epitela dinih puteva kao filtrat
intersticijske tekuine plua, aktivnim transportom hlorida. Shodno tome sadraj hlorida u
fetalnoj plunoj tekuini je visok dok je sadraj proteina nizak.
