Answer:  Airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract and the airways produce extra mucus, causing the breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow. During an attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing.

Explanation:

Bronchodilators relieve asthma symptoms by relaxing the muscle bands that tighten around the airways. This action rapidly opens the airways, letting more air come in and out of the lungs. As a result, breathing improves. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out more easily. Corticosteroids may regulate beta(2)-receptor function by increasing expression of the receptor, restoring G-protein/beta(2)-receptor coupling, and inhibiting beta(2)-receptor downregulation.

steoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women experi
tatuchka [14]

Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.
