Which respiratory volume would emphysema have the greatest impact on? What will be an ideal response?
Emphysema is a condition in which the elastic tissue of the lung is destroyed. Exhalation is a passive
process, relying on the natural elasticity of the lung to force air out. As a result, the forced exhalation
volume would be most dramatically impacted.
