A balloon with a gladwrap around it, limiting its ability to inflate (correct)

A balloon with a hair tie around the middle, restricting its expansion

A balloon with a heavy weight on top of it, preventing it from fully expanding

A condition that limits the ability to exhale air from the lungs (correct)

A specific disease, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

A condition that restricts the expansion of the lungs during inhalation

They are caused by an increase in lung distensibility, allowing for greater lung expansion

They are caused by obstructions in the airways, limiting airflow during exhalation

They are characterized by reduced lung volumes, particularly reduced total lung capacity (TLC) (correct)
