        • exercise
        • cold air
        • infections
        • stress
    • white blood cells in the bronchi and bronchioles release chemicals called HISTAMINE. the result of this is...
      • lining of the airways inflamed
      • more mucus is secreted
      • fluid leaves the capillaries and enters the airways
      • muscle around the bronchioles contracts and constricts the airways
