hallo friends am new here i need to know in deeply about: Asthma and asthma attack, my teacher gave me that question please​
Blababa [14]
Asthma- A condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, narrow and swell, and produce extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe.


Asthma attack- Called an asthma exacerbation, the 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. Symptoms of a minor asthma attack get better with prompt home treatment. A severe asthma attack that doesn't improve with home treatment can become a life-threatening emergency.

mrs_skeptik [129]
Your bowel movements (poop) are dependent on your food intake, health, and diet. Health affects its viscosity as well as color, and bad health or medical conditions can lead to dark stools.
[Green] may suggest that the intestines didn't break down the chemicals (because of diarrhea), or diet consisting of greens (vegetables).
[Red] stools should be taken with caution, and you should contact your doctor for a check-up.
[Black] stools can be a symptom of a disease, or the side-affect of a medication.
[Yellow] stools may be caused by a lack of bile salts( I'm not that sure, go on google if you are confused)
