Answer:

Larger surface area to volume ratio increases the amount of area in contact with air in the lungs to allow for uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. Basically with a larger surface area, carbon dioxide in the blood capillaries are easily released and oxygen is easily taken up, increasing efficiency of gaseous exchange.

What lung values changed (from those of the normal patient) in the spirogram when the patient with emphysema was selected?

Tanzania [10]

When the patient with emphysema was selected lung values changed (from those of the normal patient) in the spirogram are:

ERV, IRV, RV, FVC, FEV1, FEV1 %

The reason behind the changes of these values are due to the loss or inability of electric recoil. A spirogram (graph like structure obtained by the respiratory movements) is measured by spirometer.
