Why is air flow restricted djuring an asthmatic attack?
During an asthmatic attack, air flow is restricted primarily due to inflammation and swelling of the airways, which narrows the bronchial passages. Additionally, increased mucus production can further obstruct airflow, and the muscles surrounding the airways may constrict, compounding the difficulty in breathing. Together, these factors lead to the characteristic wheezing and shortness of breath experienced during an asthma attack.

What happens to intrapulmonary pressure during asthma?
During an asthma attack, intrapulmonary pressure can become altered due to bronchoconstriction, which narrows the airways and increases resistance to airflow. As a result, during expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure may not decrease as effectively, making it harder to expel air from the lungs. This can lead to air trapping, elevated lung volumes, and difficulty in breathing, as the pressure dynamics within the lungs change significantly.

Why is the skin clammy during an asthma attack?
During an asthma attack, the body experiences stress and may trigger the "fight or flight" response, leading to increased sweating. The airways constrict, making breathing difficult, which can cause anxiety and panic, further contributing to sweating and a clammy skin texture. Additionally, reduced oxygen levels and changes in blood circulation during an asthma attack can also affect skin temperature and moisture.
