Question

Emphysema is characterized by destructive changes of alveolar walls resulting in large air-filled spaces due to overinflation. There is a loss of lung elasticity, decreased gas exchange, and large air-filled spaces. Pneumonia is an acute inflammation of the lungs with the alveoli and bronchioles becoming plugged with an exudate (fluid), and the alveolar cell membranes thickening. In Figure, identify which alveolar section came from a person with no lung disease (normal alveoli), with emphysema, or with pneumonia.
