Since asthma and emphysema comes under obstrutive lung diseases...tell me what will be the lung volumes in ostructive lung diseases...inc/dec.? in hypoxia and pulmonary emboli i think lung volumes should decrease.

in astma and emphysema all lung vol are decreased except TLC, FRC, and RV which are increased. Asmi can u explain how vol will dec in hypoxia nad pulm embolism? i think there should be no change in lung vol in pulm embolism. In hypoxia findings will depend upon the cause.
