Why is respiratory obstruction reversible in asthma but not in emphysema?
In asthma, respiratory obstruction is primarily due to bronchoconstriction and inflammation in the airways, which can be reversed with bronchodilators or anti-inflammatory medications. This allows for the temporary restoration of airflow. In contrast, emphysema involves the permanent destruction of alveolar walls and loss of elastic recoil, leading to irreversible airway collapse and airflow limitation. Therefore, while asthma can be managed effectively with treatment, the structural changes in emphysema are permanent and cannot be reversed.
