Two diseases associated with an obstructive ventilatory defect are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. In COPD, the airways become narrow due to inflammation and damage to the lungs, making it difficult to exhale fully. Asthma involves reversible airway obstruction and increased sensitivity to triggers, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
