    The document discusses pulmonary compliance and factors that can affect it. COPD, decreased surfactant production, and emphysema can increase compliance by damaging lung tissue. Old age, removing part of the lung, and absence of surfactant can decrease compliance by reducing lung elasticity. Alveolar surfactant's main role is to decrease surface tension and increase compliance in the lungs.
