bronchial hyperreactivity in asthma is an exaggerated response to
numerous exogenous and endogenous stimuli.

Asthma is usually a chronic condition in which reversible airflow
obstruction in the airways occurs intermittently. Airway
obstruction occurs by both inflammation airway
hyperresponsiveness. Inflammation obstructs the lumen of the
airways. Airway hyperresponsiveness obstructs airways by
constricting bronchial smooth muscle, causing a narrowing of
the airway from the outside. Airway inflammation can trigger
bronchiolar hyperresponsiveness, and many people with asthma
have both problems at the same time.
