Question 1

Question
Which of the following is characteristic of OBSTRUCTIVE pulmonary diseases (select all that apply)
Answer
  • Reduction in airflow due to increased resistance in airways (e.g. narrowing of airway lumen)

  • Decreased elastic recoil of pulmonary parenchyma surrounding the airways, effectively reducing lumen caliber
  • Reduction in lung compliance, requiring greater pressure to inflate lungs
