Answer to Question 1

Normally, air enters the respiratory system via the nose and mouth and travels through the bronchial tubes to the lungs. Gas exchange occurs, and stale air is exhaled. During an asthma attack, the muscles of the bronchial tubes tighten and thicken, and the air passages become inflamed and filled with mucus. This narrows or blocks the bronchial tubes, making it difficult to inhale or exhale. In some cases, the bronchial tubes contract in bronchospasms, which can be life-threatening.

Answer to Question 2

B
