- - - - Airflow obstruction and bronchial reactivity
        
        T lymphocytes -> regulation of airway inflammation through the release of numerous cytokines
        
        Airway hyperresponsiveness or bronchial hyperreactivity in asthma is an exaggerated response to numerous exogenous and endogenous stimuli
        
        Acute bronchoconstriction is the consequence of immunoglobulin E-dependent mediator release upon exposure to aeroallergens and is the primary component of the early asthmatic response
        
        Airway obstruction causes increased resistance to airflow and decreased expiratory flow rates
        
        Decreased ability to expel air and may result in hyperinflation
