Mike’s body make the necessary changes by decreasing intrapleural pressure moran that usual while the body is in intrapulmonary pressure to maintain normal air flow when he is experiencing cold-induced asthma

Reducing the pressure in the lungs to a negative pressure below atmospheric pressure (and increasing the pressure gradient) allows airflow to be maintained in the face of increased airway resistance. Mike has difficulty breathing due to airway resistance.

Bronchoconstriction is the narrowing of the conducting airways leading to increased airway resistance. As the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, they relax, slightly reducing the space in the intrathoracic. This reduction results in decreased lung volume and increased intrapulmonary pressure.
