  1. Asthma is treated and controlled by a variety of medicine that are supposed to be took on a regular day to day basis.Good asthma control will prevent chronic symptoms such as coughing and lack of breath.It reduces the need for other quick medicines.It helps maintain lung function,regular activities and sleeping through out the night.Prevents asthma attacks.The lack of being treated for asthma can effect ones respiratory system as it relates to the diffusion of gases because when you breathe out you wont have the right amount of air to breathe in with. Which could cause an asthma attach.

  2. Asthma can be treated in many ways depending on how bad you have it.In most cases its treated with medicine by an oral pill or inhaler. With long-term asthma which is mostly the worse case they put you on beta-agonists,leukotriene modifiers, and theophylline. Asthma can be controlled by your doctor by manging the asthma. Its also a little risky to do sports, but its okay to do some type of phycial activitiy to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It can effect the respiratory system with the lack of treatments that you need because when you inhale and exhale the diffusion of the gases into your lungs it doesnt allow you to get the right amount of oxygen that you need to your lungs so your body starts to react and gasp for air which causes you to have an asthma attack so thats how diffusion effects the respiratoy system.

  3. Asthma can be treated in many ways. Treatments can vary from an inhaler or even a pill. These treatments must be taken everyday to manage it. Physical activity can also help because it keeps you in shape and strengthens your lungs.The lack of treatment of Asthma effect ones respiratory system as it relates to diffusion of gases by not allowing the right amount of oxygen in your lungs. When you exhale more than you inhale you grasp for air and thats how you can get an asthma attack.

    First off as far as we know Asthma is a non-curable disease. There are quick relief medicines and long term medicines. The long term medicines are the preferred way to go. These are taken over long terms to prevent the asthmatic symptoms from occuring. If your symptoms flare up you will need a quick relief system. This medicine will relax the muscles that are too tight and are constricting you airways not letting you breathe. When you lack to treat your body of asthmatic symptoms one major thing will go wrong. The diffusion of air is not correct so when you inhale after a breath you will not take in enough oxygen causing you to gasp and lose breath while your air passages close up and you start to have an asthma attack.
