People with emphysema will be...

1. Short of breath and have to breath in and out alot more than a healthy person, because there tidal volume has decreased so cannot hold as much gas.

2.The surface area of the alveoli is reduced.

3.The reduced surface area of the alveoli means that they can sometimes burst.
