COPD interferes with A)Inhalation B)Blood flow C)O₂ and CO₂ exchange D)Exhalation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) mainly affects the airways and alveoli in the lungs, leading to difficulty in exchanging oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) during respiration. This interference occurs during the process of gas exchange at the level of the alveoli (CO₂ and CO₂ exchange). So, option C is the correct choice. The other options, A (inhalation), B (blood flow), and D (exhalation) are not directly interfered with in COPD. However, these processes may be indirectly affected due to decreased oxygen availability, reduced lung function, and respiratory muscle weakness associated with COPD.
