Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Air-trapping occurs with incomplete emptying of lung units. Lung units prone to air-trapping are those with long-time constants (i.e., with high resistance or high compliance).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
By effectively increasing the time constant of the lung, high expiratory resistance prolongs exha-lation to the point at which air trapping begins (Figure 46-21, B). Any shortening of the expira-tory time (Figure 46-21, C) aggravates the problem and increases both distal airway pressure and lung volume (auto-PEEP).
