EMPHYSEMA
This describes a condition called emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In emphysema, the alveoli become overinflated and the walls between them are damaged, leading to reduced oxygen exchange and shortness of breath. Common causes include smoking, air pollution, and genetics.
This condition is characterized by permanent enlargement of the distal airway spaces and destruction of alveolar walls, resulting in reduced gas exchange surface area in the lungs. This leads to air trapping, decreased lung elasticity, and difficulty breathing. It is known as emphysema.
i think as far as i read emphysema means enlargment of alveolar walls and destruction whereas overinflation is just enlargment....without destruction.

This condition is known as emphysema. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that results in the destruction of the walls of the alveoli, leading to decreased gas exchange in the lungs and difficulty breathing. It is commonly caused by smoking and results in symptoms such as shortness of breath and coughing.
