Pulmonary surfactant controls the surface tension at the air-liquid interface within the lung.
This system had a single evolutionary origin that predates the evolution of the vertebrates
and lungs. The lipid composition of surfactant has been subjected to evolutionary selection
pressures, particularly temperature, throughout the evolution of the vertebrates.
