Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In people with emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged. Over time, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and rupture-creating larger air spaces instead of many small ones. This reduces the surface area of the lungs and, in turn, the amount of oxygen that reaches your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -Destruction of alveolar septal tissue is one of the classic characteristics of emphysema.
