bronchodilatáció
Bronchodilatation refers to the widening of the airways in the lungs. This process is crucial for regulating airflow and ensuring adequate oxygen supply to the body. The airways, primarily the bronchi and bronchioles, are surrounded by smooth muscles. When these muscles relax, the airways expand, allowing for a greater volume of air to pass through. Conversely, when the muscles contract, the airways narrow, a process known as bronchoconstriction.
Bronchodilatation can occur naturally through physiological mechanisms. For instance, during physical exertion, the body's need for
Medically, bronchodilation is often induced to treat respiratory conditions characterized by narrowed airways, such as asthma
