What is bronchoconstriction?
What is bronchoconstriction & bronchial spasm?
Bronchoconstriction due to a complex interplay among mucosal epithelium, mast, smooth muscles, and parasympathetic nervous system. All triggers of bronchoconstriction change cellular redox balance, resulting in ROS signaling and DNA damage and repair.

The bronchial spasm is due to the activation of parasympathetic nervous system. Postganglionic parasympathetic fibers will release acetylcholine causing the constriction of the smooth muscle layer surrounding the bronchi. These smooth muscle cells have muscarinic M 3 receptors on their membrane.
May 22, 2023 · Bronchoconstriction is a condition in which the smooth muscles of the bronchus contracts. The bronchus is the pathway that moves air to and from your lungs. This muscle contraction causes the...

Sep 12, 2024 · Bronchoconstriction is tightening of the smooth muscles of the bronchi and bronchioles (airways), causing the airways to become narrow and obstructing the movement of air into and out of the lungs. Bronchoconstriction is characteristic of asthma as well as lung diseases such as emphysema, viral infections, stress, and other health concerns.
The parasympathetic system causes bronchoconstriction, whereas the sympathetic nervous system stimulates bronchodilation. Reflexes such as coughing, and the ability of the lungs to regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, also result from this autonomic nervous system control.

Aug 17, 2022 · Broadly speaking the two branches of the ANS can be thought of as opposing or antagonistic systems, with the sympathetic arm acting as the exciter (eliciting the “fight or flight” response) and the parasympathetic as the suppressor (eliciting the “rest and digest” response).
Apr 14, 2005 · Acetylcholine release from the parasympathetic nerves stimulates the M3 muscarinic receptors on airway smooth muscle to cause bronchoconstriction, and this event is controlled by other muscarinic and adrenergic receptors.
