Emphysema is correct, but what actually happens is that the delicate one-cell-thick walls of the alveoli are damaged and replaced by thick scar tissue which cannot allow the diffusion of gases to and from the blood. This damage cannot be reversed.
It is called emphysema.

Which of these age-related disorders is related to loss of elasticity of the lungs and hypoxia?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the age-related disorder characterized by loss of elasticity in the lungs and hypoxia. This chronic condition restricts airflow, making it difficult to breathe and leading to reduced oxygen supply to the body.


What is contributing to the decreased alveolar ventilation?

Decreased alveolar ventilation can be caused by factors such as respiratory muscle weakness, lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), airway obstruction, or reduced respiratory drive from the brain. It can also be influenced by environmental factors such as high altitudes or poor air quality.
