Describe the change in the structure of the air passageways from the primary bronchi to the terminal bronchioles and to the alveoli in the lungs. 2. Explain the significance in the change of these structures. 3. Explain how the air passageways respond during exercise. 4. Explain why there is difficulty in breathing during asthma exacerbations.

How would paralysis of the diaphragm alter inspiration? It would prevent contraction of the intercostal muscles It would prevent inhalation because the intrapleural pressure would not change It would decrease the intrapleural pressure and allow more air to enter the lungs It would slow expiration because the lung would not relax.
