Text in this example:
When Asthma Attacks Air travels down the trachea, through a series of branching airways known as the bronchi, into smaller bronchioles, and then into tiny air sacs called alveoli.
During an asthma attack, muscle constriction in the bronchi narrows the airways, resulting in reduced airflow to the alveoli. This is further exacerbated by intensified mucus secretions which can clog the smaller bronchioles.
