Regarding pulmonary function test all are TRUE, EXCEPT

A
Total lung volume increases in emphysema
B
Compliance decreases in interstitial lung disease
C
Compliance is total lung distensibility
D
FEV1 is forced expiratory rate at one minute
High-Yield Explanation
Changes in lung function tests in obstructive lung diseases- Eg: Emphysema TLC- Increase RV- Increase FRC- Increase Peak expiratory flow rate- Decrease FEV1- Decreased out of proportion to FVC (Forced vital capacity) Forced expiratory vital capacity (FEVC)- Normal to slightly decreased FEV1/FEVC- Decreased (May decrease as low as 20-30%)  Changes in lung function tests in restrictive lung diseases TLC- Decreased RV- Decreased FRC- Decreased Forced mid expiratory flow rate- Decrease FEV1- Decreased in proportion to FVC (Forced vital capacity) Forced vital capacity (FVC)- Decreased FEV1/FEVC- Near normal or increased. Lung compliance- decreased Diffusion capacity- decreased FEV1- Forced expiratory volume in 1 second.
