Can anyone mention 4 physiologic changes in lung parameters in someone who has COPD compared to someone who has a restrictive lung disease?

mjl1717,
here's my way of not getting confused w/ Obstructive vs restrictive LD
parameters:
For Restrictive lung diseases all are decreased except for a NORMAL FEV1
For Obstructive lung diseases all are increased except for a decreased FEV1 & VC.
