3.1 Assignment Emphysema: Respiratory System In chronic emphysema, some alveoli merge, and some are replaced with fibrous connective tissue. In addition, the bronchioles are often inflamed, and expiratory volume is reduced. Using proper respiratory system terminology, explain at least two reasons why affected individuals will have problems with ventilation and external respiration. FYI: There are 4 main reasons. If you are unsure where to begin try: Physiopedia Emphysema: https://www.physio-pedia.com/Emphysema The links are excellent. Hints for key words: airway resistance; tidal volume, diffusion distance, surface area. Think about the clinical clues: fibrous connective tissue, lung volumes/pressures, alveoli merged together (remember the role of surface area), and inflammation. What do these things mean for the exchange of gases? Think it through.
