It increases their RV (residual volume) and FRC (functional residual capacity) due to air trapping. It decreases the FEV1 and takes longer to finish their FVC (forced vital capacity) because of decreased flow rates. It also decreases the DLCO (difusion capacity) because of alveolar wall distruction.
emphysema effect everything because the amount of air trasfer in lung is reduced in the affected area. FEV/FVC ratio reduction is a sign of emphysema. badly effected people sometimes has less than 40% ratio of FEV/FVC. it isn't just reduction in the lungs capacity to recoil but more to destruction of your alveoli.
Yes, it does. RV increases due to flow limitation that causes air trapping.
Decrease
yes

emphysema (C)
No, emphysema is not related to the bones. It is a chronic, progressive lung disease.
Emphysema is a type of lung cancer that can be caused by the same things lung cancer is caused from with many complications.
The lung doesn't relax, it is controlled by the diaphragm When it relaxes the volume of the lungs decrease during expiration When it contracts the volume of the lungs increases during inhilation
Emphysema
Decrease lung and air volume in the amount of air exchange
Emphysema is one of many chronic obstructive lung diseases. It is primarily caused by chronic exposure to lung irritants.
Emphysema is not a gas. It is one of many chronic obstructive lung diseases.
