Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulmonary edema is caused by fluid accumulation in the alveoli, leading to reduced gas exchange and increased thickness of the respiratory membrane. This can be caused by various factors including heart failure, pneumonia, and exposure to high altitudes. Emphysema is characterized by destruction of the alveolar walls, asthma is caused by bronchospasm and airway inflammation, and pneumothorax involves air accumulating in the pleural cavity, not in the alveoli.
