Compensatory emphysema - what does this mean
Compensatory emphysema is a type of pulmonary emphysema that occurs when the airways of the lungs become blocked, causing the alveoli to become over-inflated and over-stretched. this results in a decrease in the surface area available for gas exchange, leading to an inadequate supply of oxygen to the body. as a result, the body compensates by increasing the size of the alveoli, leading to an increase in airway resistance and further impairment of gas exchange.
What happens during the disease - compensatory emphysema
Compensatory emphysema is a type of pulmonary emphysema caused by the destruction of alveoli, which leads to a decrease in the surface area available for gas exchange. this decrease in surface area causes an increase in the pressure of the alveoli, leading to an increase in the size of the alveoli in order to compensate for the loss of surface area. this increase in size can lead to an increase in the volume of air in the lungs, resulting in an increase in the amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled with each breath.
