asthma attack? a. the alveolar pressure is greater than during a normal expiration b. the resistance
to air flow is greater than during a normal expiration c. the intrapleural (or pleural) pressure is
greater than during an normal expiration d. the rate at which air exits the lung is greater than
during a normal expiration e. a, b, and c
Solution
Ans is E
In asthma there is greater resistance of airways during expiration which causes wheeze this
resistance rises the pressure inside the pleura and alveoli than normal expiration
