Front 16

In a patient with this lung disease there is recurrent pulmonary inflammation that damages and eventually destroys the alveolar wall, creating large air spaces. This breakdown leaves the alveoli unable to recoil normally after expanding and results in bronchiolar collapse on expirations. This traps air in the lungs, leading to over distention.
