Asthma
• Asthma is physiologically characterized by increased responsiveness of the trachea and bronchi to various stimuli and by widespread narrowing of the airways that changes in severity either spontaneously or as a result of therapy.
• Its pathologic features are contraction of airway smooth muscle, mucosal thickening from edema and cellular infiltration, and inspiration in the airway lumen of abnormally thick, viscid plugs of mucus.
• Symptom: dyspnea, wheezing, stridor, coughing, an inability for physical exertion. The cough may sometimes produce clear sputum.
• Between episodes, most patients feel well but can have mild symptoms and they may remain short of breath after exercise for longer periods of time than the unaffected individual.
