 Asthma
Bronchodilators open up the bronchi rapidly by relaxing the muscles that have tightened up around the bronchi during an asthma exacerbation.
In asthma, the bronchi have the tendency to become blocked and, as a result, to prevent air from flowing freely in and out of the lungs.
This blockage is caused a combination of changes that occur within the bronchi.

On the mediastinal surfaces of both lungs there is a deep concavity, the cardiac impression, which accommodates the pericardium and heart.

Stimulation from the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system causes these smooth muscles to relax, dilating the bronchial branches allowing more air to pass through the lungs.
When the bronchi become inflammed, a condition results which is referred to as bronchitis [bronchi + -itis, inflammation].
This is what happens during the "fight or flight" response.

Western science views asthma as recurrent spasms in the smaller bronchi and bronchioles resulting in obstructed breathing: wheezing and labored breathing.
It also relieves spasms of the bronchial smooth muscle, and it relieves nausea and vomiting.

 Bird Respiratory System
Also leading from the primary bronchi are between 7 and 10 dorsal bronchi, which spread over the back and sides of each lung, and ventral bronchi, which spread over the front of each lung.
Arising directly from the tertiary bronchi are air capillaries, which are responsible for the gas exchange between the ventilation system and the blood that transports oxygen to the body cells where it is needed for respiration.
Finally there is a network of tertiary bronchi, which connects the ventral bronchi with the dorsal bronchi.

 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
The respiratory epithelial lining often appears folded due to the contraction of the smooth muscle, and mucus glands are found between the muscle and cartilage (Bronchi 2).
The respiratory system consists of two functional parts: (1) a conducting system to bring the air in, including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles; and (2) the respiratory portion, the site of gas exchange, including the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar saccules, and alveoli.
The conducting system exists both outside (nose to bronchi) and within (bronchi and bronchioles) the lungs.
