Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaphylaxis is not a key component of a typical asthma attack. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can occur in response to certain allergens or medications, but it is not a defining characteristic of asthma attacks. The other three choices (secretion of extra mucus, inflammation of the airways, and spasm in the muscles surrounding the airways) are all common features of asthma attacks.
