What is Emphysema
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease that is caused by damage to
the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
 COPD for short.
 COPD is generally a combination of Emphysema and Chronic
Bronchitis both with varying degrees.
 It is a progressive disease of the lungs.
 The alveoli (air sacs) are irreversibly damaged causing
breathing to become difficult.
 There is no cure
LUNG ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY

removing Carbon Dioxide and replacing it with Oxygen.
