bronchodilatatieconstrictie
Bronchodilatatieconstrictie refers to the simultaneous or alternating processes of widening and narrowing of the airways. In normal respiration, the bronchi and bronchioles undergo controlled changes in diameter to regulate airflow. Bronchodilation, the widening of these airways, facilitates increased air intake, often occurring during increased physical activity or when the body requires more oxygen. Conversely, bronchoconstriction, the narrowing of the airways, restricts airflow and is a key feature of conditions like asthma, where it can lead to symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
The term "bronchodilatatieconstrictie" is not a standard medical term but rather describes a physiological phenomenon that
