Rationale: Obstruction of the airway in a patient with asthma is primarily caused by inflammation and narrowing of the airways due to a combination of factors such as thick mucus, swelling of bronchial membranes, and contraction of muscles surrounding the bronchi. Destruction of the alveolar wall is not a direct cause of airway obstruction in asthma patients; alveolar wall destruction is typically associated with conditions like emphysema. In asthma, the primary mechanisms contributing to airway obstruction are related to inflammation, mucus production, and bronchoconstriction.
