can please someone explain the pathological feature of pulmonary fibrosis..

as contrast to emphysematous changes in the lungs ?
no body for pulm fibrosis .....
pulm fibrosis is restrictive while emphysema is obstructive
fibrosis would shoe thickening of the alveoli,while emohysems is destuction of aleoli
fibrotic change = hyperplasia as result of inflammation, injury
emphysema change = destruction of alveolar air spaces
