7 0

Answer:

The correct option is : b. Bronchiole smooth muscle contracts which reduces the diameter of the airways

Explanation:

Asthma is an incurable inflammatory disease which affects the airways that carry the oxygen in and out of the lungs. It can be caused by various genetic and environmental factors. Asthma is characterized by breath shortness, coughing, chest tightness and wheezing.

It is caused due to the inflammation of the passage that conducts air into the lungs, especially the bronchi and the bronchioles. Asthma does not affect the alveoli. The inflammation of the bronchioles causes the contraction of the smooth muscles and results in narrowing of the airways. Therefore, causing wheezing.

At rest, most of the body's blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The answer to the statement: At rest, most of the body´s blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop, would be, B: False.

Explanation:

The circulatory system never stops working. Pumping of blood, transportation of oxygen, nutrients and water to and from tissues is a process that does not end, even during sleep. The only moment when this process does not happen, is in death. However, a good question is, where does the blood go, or stay, when the body is not active, like for example, during sleep. And the answer is that most of it will rest on the systemic veins and venules and will slowly circulate back to the heart, but at a much lower rate than when the body activates itself. However, what is not true is that blood will reside mostly in the pulmonary loop, because this loop does not have the capacity to store that much blood.
