Patients with emphysema experience reduced lung ventilation caused by this

A

a loss of elasticity and an increase in compliance of the lungs

66
Q

Chronic bronchitis is a medical condition characterized by

A

a persistent inflammation of the bronchi, which thickens the airway lining and increases resistance to the flow of air into and out of the lungs

67
