How does asthma disrupts homeostasis?

Asthma disrupts homeostasis by causing inflammation and constriction of the airways, which impairs normal airflow and gas exchange. This leads to decreased oxygen levels in the blood and increased carbon dioxide retention, disrupting the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions. The resultant respiratory distress can trigger compensatory mechanisms, such as increased heart rate and effort to breathe, further straining the body's regulatory systems. Overall, these changes hinder the body's equilibrium, making it difficult to maintain proper respiratory and metabolic function.
