Our Model We created a popular representation of the human breathing system from a plastic bottle, two balloons. a straw and some modelling clay 2. A smaller diameter straw would restrict how much air could go into out 'lung'. this is related to people with asthma to due to fact that when they have an asthmatic attack there trachea contracts and this give it a smaller diameter to the trachea restricting the airflow and therefore hampering their ability to breath. people suffering from an asthmatic attack therefor to to take medicine such as ventolin to help expand their trachea. 3. To improve this model I would use two balloons as the internal lungs to give a much more accurate visualization of the lungs and how much air is taken in by them. I would also try and use a more malleable material to create the ribcage out of so that we might be able to see the 'ribcage' move in and out with the lungs.
