             What is Asthma?
      Asthma is…
       a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in 
      which many cells and cellular elements play a role.  
      Inflammation occurs in asthma because..
       asthmatics exhibit an exaggerated immune     
       response to stimuli (e.g. allergens and viruses).
      Chronically inflamed airways become hyperresponsive,
      obstructed and have limited airflow, leading to   
      recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, 
      chest tightness and coughing. 
                                       What is Asthma?
                                          Air enters respiratory tract via mouth 
                                          and nose and enters bronchial tubes

                       and becomes
