In response to an allergic reaction your body releases histamine into the blood stream. One of the consequences of this is that it leads to difficulty in breathing. This is likely because O Your trachea becomes clogged Macrophages around the alveoli are activated Your bronchioles dilate The mucociliary elevator ceases to function Your bronchioles constrict

Of the following, which does not explain why the partial pressure of oxygen is lower in the lung than in the external air? Air in the lung is humidified; therefore, water vapor pressure alters the pressure Carbon dioxide mixes with oxygen Oxygen is moved into the blood and is headed to the tissues Lungs exert a pressure on the air to reduce the oxygen pressure.
