What is the functional importance of the decrease in cartilage and increase in smooth muscle in the lower respiratory passageways?
The smooth muscle in the walls of the bronchioles is very sensitive to the concentration of carbon dioxide. A rising level of CO2 causes the bronchioles to dilate. This lowers the resistance in the airways and thus increases the flow of air in and out.
What is indication of nebulizer?

Does the respiratory system have smooth muscles that surrounds the bronchioles?
It has smooth muscles in order to support the lungs It is the role of cartilage to structurally support the trachea so it does not collapse in on itself (pulmonary atelectasis) during inspiration when the pressure in the lungs drops below atmospheric level. No that is wrong, smooth muscle is controlled subconsciously by the autonomic nervous system, and its function is to constrict or dilate, (by contracting or relaxing respectively), the airways to ease or restrict air flow through them. For example when you exercise, the smooth muscle will relax causing the diameter of the trachea to increase so more air can flow through them and hence allow a greater volume of oxygen to processed as needed by the body for respiration to release energy and provide this to the muscle cells during exercise. However, when one is surrounded by something which one is toxic such as a harmful gas, then the smooth muscle may contract and constrict the airways to reduce airflow and thus the amount of this toxic substance from entering the lungs and damaging the lung tissue.

Why does stress make your pupils dilate?
The sphincter papillae controls pupil constriction and is governed by the parasympathetic nervous system. The dilator papillae controls pupil dilation and is governed the sympathetic nervous system. During the fight or flight response, only the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. With the massive amounts of noradrenaline flowing through this system, the dilator papillae is innervated and the pupils dilate.
What are blood vessel size directly and indirectly controlled by?
The vascular system signals for blood vessels to constrict or dilate. The nervous system, such as the spine, and the brain, work together to help blood vessels respond accordingly.
