Abnormalities of Respiration Characterization of Bronchial Asthma Along with Whistling Type of Respiration, Inflammation of Air Passages, Hypersensitivity of Afferent Glossopharyngeal and Vagal Endings and Pulmonary Edema as Well as Congestion of Lungs
Abstract
Wheezing is manifested by whistling ntype of respiration. Bronchial asthma occurs because of bronchiolar constriction. The leukotrienes, released from eosinophils and mast cells during inflammation, are responsible for occurrence of bronchospasm. The production of hypersensitivity of glassopharyngeal and vagal ending happens due to a very few allergic compounds namely foreign proteins. The deflation of the lungs does not happens completely due to difficulty particularly during expiration.
