Bronquiolo normal vs. bronquiolo asmático
Durante un ataque de asma, los músculos lisos que se localizan en los bronquiolos del pulmón se contraen y reducen el flujo de aire en las vías aéreas. La cantidad del flujo de aire puede disminuirse aún más por la inflamación o el exceso de secreción mucosa.
