Which of these factors will NOT make breathing more difficult
A)increased pulmonary compliance
B)increased airway resistance
C)decreased elastic recoil
D)pleural effusion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased pulmonary compliance actually makes breathing easier because the lungs can expand more easily. B, C, and D all make breathing more difficult. Increased airway resistance makes it harder for air to flow into and out of the lungs, decreased elastic recoil makes it harder for the lungs to empty completely, and pleural effusion can compress the lungs and make it harder for them to expand fully.
