4-HYPOXIA ----> I AM ASKING THIS SINCE I DON,T KNOW EIHTER_

  #2

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.

  #3

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.
