With emphysema, the lungs become increasingly compliant, due to alveolar destruction. As the alveoli are destroyed, air is trapped in the lungs, and TLC is increased. The increased volume and lung tissue compliance causes the chest wall to expand, hence, the typical barrel chest seen in those with emphysema.
