Do you know anything about lung disease? Lung disease encompasses several types of diseases or illnesses that prevent the lungs from working properly. Lung disease can have a negative impact on respiratory function or the ability to breathe. Some examples of problems that affect the lungs include asthma, COPD, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Even if you may be nervous about an upcoming test on lung disease, take a deep breath and complete this quiz.
