A 10-year-old boy oversleeps and is late for school in the morning. It is cold outside and he runs away to avoid being late. Unfortunately, he is asthmatic and the combination of cold air, physical exertion, and fear of being late causes him to have an asthma attack. He has trouble breathing, feels chest tightness and a feeling of lack of air. A low whistling sound is heard during his exhalation. The boy carries an inhaler which he uses and manages to control the attack. During an asthma attack, there is swelling of the mucous membranes, excessive secretion of the bronchial glands, and contraction of the smooth muscles. It also affects the small bronchioles, the wall of which is not strengthened by cartilage. Which picture shows a picture of such a bronchiole?
