Question

in asthma, the airways in the lungs become constricted and cause wheezing and trouble breathing. how does this disrupt homeostasis in the body? the narrow air passageways do not allow carbon dioxide into the lungs. the narrow air passageways do not allow oxygen into the lungs. the expanded passageways allow more oxygen into the lungs. the diaphragm does not move up and down to move oxygen into the lungs.

Explanation:

Homeostasis in the body involves maintaining a stable internal environment. In respiration, oxygen needs to enter the lungs and carbon - dioxide needs to be expelled. In asthma, the constricted airways (narrow air passageways) impede the normal flow of air. Oxygen is the gas that needs to enter the lungs for gas exchange to occur in the alveoli. The constriction restricts oxygen intake, disrupting the body's oxygen - carbon dioxide balance which is part of homeostasis.

Answer:

The narrow air passageways do not allow oxygen into the lungs.
