-
lung anatomy
-
as the passage way becomes smaller, the epithelial lining also becomes thinner

-
Daltons law; which states the total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum total of all individual partial pressures
-
Altitude
while oxygen concentration remains the same at all elevations; the air in which it is suspended is much thinner
therefore the concentration of oxygen is less, making it more difficult for carbon dioxide to diffuse across the alveolar membrane
the inflammation from infection, and the decreased lung elasticity due to age, lead to decreased tidal volumes
