Emphysema damages the tiny air sacs in the lungs, which inflate when we take in a breath and move oxygen into the blood. They also push out carbon dioxide, a waste gas, when we breathe out. When you have emphysema, these delicate air sacs can't expand and contract properly.
Eventually, scar tissue forms in the lungs, which doesn't allow your lungs to take in as much oxygen as you need. With emphysema, the walls of your lungs lose their elasticity, meaning they can't constrict to allow for exhaling. People with COPD can have either or both of these diseases.
