anatomy
The amount of alveoli in each lung
~300 million
the muscle that lies below the lungs that is responsible for ventilation
diaphragm
This substance commonly clogs the airway during an asthma attack
mucus
the tubes that bring air to the alveoli
bronchi/bronchioles
this lung volume is not measured by a spirometer
residual volume
One common cause of an asthma flare up
exercise/allergies/temperature changes
the amount of lobes in the left lung
2
According to Boyle's law, if the volume of a gas increases, the pressure _____
decreases
One way that the body try to maintain homeostasis during and after an asthma attack
Increased respiration rate/ dyspnea/ airway remodeling
