Answer:

First option - Bronchodilator (beta adrenergic agonists drugs)

Second option - corticosteroid

Explanation:

    Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases, along with allergic rhinitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The main features of this lung disease are shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness, short and rapid breathing. Symptoms worsen at night and in the early hours of the morning or in response to exercise, exposure to allergens, environmental pollution and climate change.

   In asthma attacks, first, try the bronchodilator (the inhaler - asthma pumps). If the answer is not satisfactory, enter the corticosteroid. There are currently cortisone derivatives with minor side effects and excellent results. As a spray, they eliminate oral doses and, inhaled, act directly on the lungs.

     A bronchodilator is used by almost all people with asthma as a way to open the airway. For the treatment of asthma symptoms, there are three types of bronchodilators: beta-agonists, anticholinergics and xanthines.

   Short-acting beta-adrenergic (beta agonists) drugs are usually the best medicines to relieve asthma attacks. They are also used to prevent exercise-induced asthma. These drugs are called bronchodilators because they stimulate beta-adrenergic receptors to widen (dilate) the airways. Bronchodilators that act on all beta-adrenergic receptors throughout the body (such as epinephrine) cause side effects such as tachycardia, agitation, headache, and muscle tremors.

Write 3-4 paragraphs comparing and contrasting arteries and veins.
Levart [38]
I'm not going to fully write out <span>3-4 paragraphs but I will give you some information to start out with :) I greatly enjoy doing research and writing about the things I have learned. 

Arteries:
Arteries are </span>any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body. <span> Each artery is a muscular tube lined by smooth tissue and has three layers. These are the three layers and their purpose. 
*The i</span>ntima-T<span>he inner layer lined by a smooth tissue called endothelium
</span>*The media- A<span> layer of muscle that lets arteries handle the high pressures from the heart
*</span>The adventitia-Connective tissue anchoring arteries to nearby tissues


Veins<span> are </span>blood vessels<span> that carry </span>blood<span> toward the </span>heart<span>. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the </span>pulmonary<span> and </span>umbilical veins<span>, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, </span>arteries<span> carry blood away from the heart.
</span>Veins are classified in a number of ways, including superficial vs. deep, pulmonary vs. systemic, and large vs. small.
<span>
*Superficial veins are those closer to the surface of the body, and have no corresponding arteries.
</span><span>*Deep veins are deeper in the body and have corresponding arteries.
</span><span>*Perforator veins drain from the superficial to the deep veins. These are usually referred to in the lower limbs and feet.
</span><span>*Communicating veins are veins that directly connect superficial veins to deep veins.
*P</span>ulmonary veins<span> are a set of veins that deliver oxygenated blood from the </span>lungs<span> to the heart.
*</span><span>Systemic veins drain the tissues of the body and deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart.

I hoped this helped and gave you some useful information. Good luck, I hope you do well on your assignment :) ~Sadie

Larry is taking a walk in the park. The pollen in the air makes him sneeze constantly. What line of defense is his immune system
Daniel [21]

Larry is taking a walk in the park. The pollen in the air makes him sneeze constantly. The line of defense that is his immune system exhibiting is that of "(A) first line of defense." There are only 3 lines of defense in the immune system. The first line of defense are a combination of physical and chemical barriers that prevent all types of foreign agents from penetrating the outer layer of the body. In this case, it is the nasal cavity.
