Emphysema would have the greatest impact on which respiratory volume? What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: 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.
