Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. It is not considered an idiopathic disorder (one without a known cause) or an autoimmune disease. While it is a secondary breathing disorder in the sense that it is a result of damage to the lungs, it is more specifically classified as a type of COPD.
