Explanation:

• Question 10: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease with symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Pertussis (whooping cough) has a distinct whooping sound. Influenza (flu) has systemic symptoms like fever. Croup has a barking cough.
• Question 11: Alveoli are the tiny air - sacs in the lungs where gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) occurs. Pleura is the membrane around the lungs. Bronchus is a large airway. Bronchioles are smaller airways.
