Asthma is a disease that can affect the lungs in which of the following ways?

Question

Question 15 options:

Tubes inside the lungs get smaller so air cannot easily enter the body

Tubes inside the lungs become clogged with mucus so air cannot easily enter the body.

Tubes inside the lungs become damaged from excessive noise and air cannot easily enter the body

Tubes inside the lungs dilate so air cannot easily enter the body

Answer 1

Asthma primarily affects the lungs in the following ways:

1. Tubes inside the lungs get smaller so air cannot easily enter the body.
2. Tubes inside the lungs become clogged with mucus so air cannot easily enter the body.

Both of these options describe common characteristics of asthma, where the airways can become constricted (bronchoconstriction) and inflamed, leading to difficulty in breathing.

The other options related to damage from noise and dilation are not accurate descriptions of the typical effects of asthma.

So, the correct options are:

• Tubes inside the lungs get smaller so air cannot easily enter the body.
• Tubes inside the lungs become clogged with mucus so air cannot easily enter the body.
