Question 8
Let us assume that airways are subjected to the same smooth muscle stimulation.
Airway narrowing
is more pronounced in large airways due to their greater muscle
mass.- Airway narrowing is more
pronounced in small airways due to their relatively larger muscle
mass.
- Airway narrowing is most
pronounced in small airways because they are more compliant.
- Airway narrowing is
most pronounced in large airways as their smooth muscles can
shorten more.
