Published	09/03/2024	A flattening of expiratory limb on spirometry is caused by {{c1::variable intrathoracic obstruction}}

Published	09/03/2024	The {{c1::Plethysmography (Body Box)}} is the best way to determine lung volume
Published	09/03/2024	Plethysmography (Body Box) utilizes the physics formula {{c1::PV=PV}}
Published	09/03/2024	Small lung volumes are caused by {{c1::decreased}} compliance of lung and/or chest wall compliance
Published	09/03/2024	One example of a disease causing small lung volume (FRC, TLC < LLN) is...
Published	09/03/2024	Large lung volumes are caused by {{c1::increased}} compliance in lung (stiffness and elastic recoil)
Published	09/03/2024	The only example provided of a disease causing large lung volumes is {{c1::emphysema}}
Published	09/03/2024	Restrictive diseases are broken down into two categories: {{c1::parenchymal}} and {{c2::extra-parenchymal}}
Published	09/03/2024	Diffusion Capacity (DLCO) measures {{c1::transfer of gas across the membranes}}
Published	09/03/2024	Normal spirometry but low DLCO indicates something wrong with the {{c1:: capillaries}}
Published	09/03/2024	Abnormal spirometry and low DLCO could point to either {{c1::restrictive}} or {{c2::obstructive}} pattern
