28
Q

What does parasympathetic activation cause

A

30
Q

What triggers extrinsic asthma

A

31
Q

What triggers intrinsic asthma

A

32
Q

What does asthma cause

A

Excessive mucus secretion

33
Q

Someone who has asthma may have a subluxation where

A

34
Q

Where does the lymphatics of the lung drain into

A

35
Q

What do the pulmonary and bronchopulmonary nodes drain into

A

tracheobronchial nodes

36
Q

Why is the lung rich with lymphatics

A

Because it is in contact with the environment
