Alveoli Decreases Loss Explain Effects Elasticity Gaseous Exchange

Front Explain the effects of loss of elasticity in alveoli and effect on gaseous exchange system of a person with empysema
Back Loss of elasticity= Alveoli cant expel as much air
surface area of alveoli decrease so rate of diffusion decreases
Tidal volume decreases
Forced vital capacity decreases
