In case anyone else needs the explanation and so that it can be searched and what not:

The connective tissue that surrounds the airways of the lungs are called the parenchyma. This forms a sort of scaffold around the airways, keeping them open with a force known as "radial traction".

As inspiration takes place, the traction increases as the fibers that make the parenchyma are stretched.

I thought he meant traction of the radius...

and just for fun, maybe he meant traction from a drag radial.
