1. Asthma exogenous (sensitivity):
This type of asthma often spreads between the two categories of children and adolescents, and often disappears with age, and avoid triggering factors and irritating him.
And who experience in this type of asthma from excessive sensitivity towards irritants, as the immune system of the infected produce large quantities of antibodies; called Ameonocalobolin immune (ie GE), which cause allergic symptoms, and the primary function of these objects are highlighted certain factors exciting allergens such as pollen of some plants, فتلتصق cells physical, and thus accumulate these cells in tissues exposed to environmental factors such as the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, and if exposure infected factors excitement again, the antibodies distinguish, and alert mast cells to release histamine and chemical mediators that affect bronchial tubes, leading to excessive secretion of mucus, and a spasm of the bronchial tubes.
2. Endogenous asthma (not affected by allergies):
Spread among children aged less than 3 years, and adults aged over 30 years, and in this type of asthma are viral infections respiratory are irritants core, which affects the nerves, or the cells near the surface of endotracheal tubes, may cause constricting popularly or launch chemical media, leading to an asthma attack.

Work image of the lung using X-rays, and to test the efficiency of the lung, which is a test that measures the amount of air that comes out of the lung, and another test measures the speed of the air outside of the lung (exhale), and other tests such as sensitivity tests, and a blood test.
Asthma irritants
Asthma irritants are the factors that lead to infection with symptoms of an asthma attack, and vary these irritants among the injured, and most important of these irritants:
• factors allergens: such as feathers or animal hair, or carpet dust.
