Question 1 of 7 :

A small degree of inflammation in a child's airway can lead to a disproportionately large increase in airway resistance compared to an adult. Which of the following is the primary reason for this?

A Children have a higher metabolic rate, which increases their oxygen demand.

B The infant's trachea is more cartilaginous and flexible, leading to easier collapse.

C Children rely more on their diaphragm for breathing, making them less efficient at clearing secretions.

D The child's airway has a significantly narrower diameter, so a small reduction in radius leads to a large increase in resistance.
