Bronchiolar Constriction is Most Likely to Cause

Question

Bronchiolar constriction is most likely to cause
A) pneumothorax.
B) pulmonary edema.
C) wheezing.
D) laryngitis.

Accepted Answer

Bronchiolar constriction leads to narrowing of the airways, which causes resistance to airflow during breathing. This can cause wheezing, which is a high-pitched whistling sound that is heard during breathing. Pneumothorax results from a collapsed lung, pulmonary edema is caused by excess fluid in the lungs, and laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx, none of which are directly related to bronchiolar constriction.
