Answer:

Emphysema

Explanation:

Pulmonary emphysema disease progressively destroys the fibers that promote respiration, leading to a decrease in respiratory function, emphysema being a more serious complication of any bronchopulmonary obstructive inflammation. In emphysema, the walls that separate many of the alveoli are damaged and gas exchange in the lungs decreases. This disease originates when the pulmonary alveoli are progressively destroyed and difficulty in breathing becomes greater and greater. When destroyed, a larger space is created, instead of small chambers. And this affects the length of the lungs and the amount of oxygen that reaches the blood.
