the two main characteristics of normal lung tissue that may be affected in diseased individuals are either Compliance or Elasticity.

compliance is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it to expand

elasticity is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it go back to its former shape and size.

elasticity is usually affected in chronic obstructive conditions like emphysema

compliance is usually affected in restrictive lung dysfunctions like pulmonary fibrosis.
