Problem:

Answer the question in detail:

Question 1: The disease asthma is a disease characterized by bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), airway inflammation, and excess secretion of thick mucus. Is asthma likely a restrictive disease or an obstructive disease? Predict the values you would expect to see on spirometry for a patient with asthma.

Question 2: Why should a person breathe into a paper bag when he or she is hyperventilating abnormally?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
