Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emphysema is a condition where the alveoli in the lungs are enlarged and damaged, leading to difficulty in breathing and a decreased capacity for oxygen exchange. Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, and pleurisy is inflammation of the pleura (the tissue lining the lungs and chest cavity). None of these conditions specifically involve enlargement and damage to the alveoli.
