The video explains the differences between asthmatic and non-asthmatic lungs, focusing on airway obstruction in asthmatics. It discusses how mucus accumulation and muscle constriction in larger airways lead to breathing difficulties. Preventative medications, including steroids and muscle relaxants, help manage asthma by reducing inflammation and keeping airways open. Inhalers provide quick relief during asthma attacks by relaxing airway muscles.
