-airflow obstruction
-decreased alveolar ventilation
4. Bronchioles
Answer smaller passageways that originate from the bronchi that become the alveoli
5. 3 layers of the bronchioles
Answer innermost layer middle layer - lamina
propria
outermost layer
6. lamina propria
Answer the middle layer of the bronchioles
7. structure of the lamina propria
Answer embedded with connective tissue cells and immune cells
8. purpose of the lamina propria
Answer white blood cells are present to help protect the airways

9. How does the lamina propria effect the lungs in regards to asthma
Answer the WBCs protective feature goes into overdrive causing an inflammatory
response that damages host tissue
10. What does the innermost layer of the bronchioles contain
Answer columnar epithe- lial ells and mucus producing goblet cells
11. What does the outermost layer of the bronchioles contain
Answer smooth muscle cells
12. what does the outermost layer of the bronchioles do
Answer control the airways ability to constrict and dilate
13. alveolar hyperinflation
Answer When air is unable to move out of the alveolar like it should due to bronchial
walls collapsing around possible mucus plug thus trapping air inside
14. how does hyperinflation occur?
