What is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic illness. The illness is like a allergy. It is a reaction from the body when
something is inhaled. For the most asthma patient is this not dangerous. Some allergy you
have to sneeze or get a tickle in the throat. This is what a asthma patient feels and than is it
for the patient difficult to breath.

The respiratory tract
When you breath the air comes in the trachea into the lungs. the air passes from the trachea
into the bronchi. How farther the air comes in the respiratory tract how smaller the repiratory
tract become.
Every repiratory has on the inside a muscular wall. The muscular wall makes a thick liquor, this
liquor takes care for the air what comes in to the body. The liqour makes the inhaled air warm.
And allow the dirty air particles remain stuck in the liquor.

The respiratory tract form human with asthma are often red, painfull and sometimes angry.
The respiratory are often irritated by substances which are in the air. This are the allergens
like smoke and animal fur. The respiratory tract from asthma patients are verry sensitive.
When they comes in contact with a substance where they are susceptible to, then the
muscules from the respiratory tract will be strained. The inside wall swells and make a lot of
mucus.

Develop allergies
when a child comes regularly in contact with a allergic stimulus like dust mites and animals
and the child have a bigger risk for asthma, than the child can slowly develop a allergy. It is
possible that a child after a few years can get reactions on it.
allergic reactions are: sneeze, itchy eyes, swollen eyelids, a dry cough and a stuffy nose.

Causes
Asthma is hereditary and can begin on every age. There are different substances and
incentives what makes the asthma worse. Like:
 Substances from animals and plants like: dust mites, hairs from animals, pollen from
flowers, grass and fungi
 Substances from the nature: temperature change, rain and damp
 chemical stimuli like: the traffic, industry, perfume, cleaning products and smoke.

What happens during an asthma attack
the changes that occur are:
 faster breathing;
 accessory muscles go to work
 stopping other activities, like moving and talking to use that energy.
These reactions are there to prevent a shortage of oxygen. You feel cramped when you have
not enough oxygen. the oxygen content in the blood becomes quickly less and the saturatie
will be low in the measurement
