Less gas exchange occurs in damaged air sacs explain why?
The alveolar sacs must adhere closely in order for gas exchange to occur. In cases of emphysema, the air sacs are dilated causing less carbon dioxide to escape. Since hemoglobin has 200x the affinity for carbon dioxide over oxygen, carbon dioxide builds up leading to respiratory acidosis. This condition is ideal for growing cancer.
