2.5: Lung Pathology

Question 1

______ causes damage to the alveoli.

Answer 1

Emphysema

Question 2

Emphysema

Answer 2

causes damage to the alveoli. Eventually, the damage causes the inner walls of the alveoli to become weak and rupture. The loss of alveoli causes a loss of alveolar ventilation ability and a loss of total gas exchange. Breathing becomes very difficult for these patients even at rest. Smoking is often a cause of this disease.
