| 11. | Dear D . T . : The bronchial tubes are lined with a combination of various cells.
|
| 12. | This causes abnormally thick mucus to form in the bronchial tubes, clogging airways and causing lung infections.
|
| 13. | To help reverse this damage, Firshein recommends magnesium, which helps relax muscle tissue and open bronchial tubes.
|
| 14. | When a human being inhales, air travels down the trachea, through the bronchial tubes, and into the lungs.
|
| 15. | Oddly enough, sucking marijuana smoke into the lungs provides short-term relief for asthma by opening bronchial tubes wider.
|
| 16. | But long-term, chronic pot smoking does just the opposite, causing those bronchial tubes to constrict and aggravating asthma.
|
| 17. | However, extremely fine particles, much smaller than a micron, are also stopped high in the system of bronchial tubes.
|
| 18. | This causes muscles to relax and allows bronchial tubes to dilate, aiding the flow of air to the lungs.
|
| 19. | Sometimes the scopes are used to scrape cells from the lining of the bronchial tubes to examine under the microscope.
|
| 20. | If you have been a smoker in the past, the lining of your bronchial tubes could be producing this mucous.
