Compliance Measure of the ease with which lungs and thorax expand
{"Image DocumentName": "Compliance Measure of the ease with which lungs and thorax expand", "Image ImageDescription": "The greater the compliance, the easier it is for a change in pressure to cause expansion. A lower-than-normal compliance means the lungs and thorax are harder to expand. Conditions that decrease compliance. Pulmonary fibrosis: deposition of inelastic fibers in lung (emphysema) Pulmonary edema (the alveoli fill with fluid instead of air, preventing oxygen from being absorbed into your bloodstream) Respiratory distress syndrome. Increased resistance to airflow caused by airway obstruction (asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer) Deformities of the thoracic wall (kyphosis (hunchback), scoliosis)", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
