It is recognized that
bronchial tree is not sterile in healthy and COPD individuals; the lung microbiome plays a significant role in normal lung function and diseases.
Below the epithelial layer is a spiralling layer of smooth muscle that grows thicker further down the
bronchial tree, but is absent from the bronchioles.
On the asymmetry of bifurcations in the
bronchial tree. Respiration Physiology, 107, pp.
A morphological study of the lungs and
bronchial tree of the dog: with a suggested system of nomenclature for bronchi.
A detailed assessment of the relationship between CT and bronchoscopic visualization of airway lesions is followed by individual chapters devoted to specific anatomical portions of the
bronchial tree. The final chapter explores the emerging field of physiologic airway imaging.
The saliva, gastric juice, intestinal bacteria, blood, liver, epithelial lining fluid, pulmonary alveolar macrophages, peripheral lung parynchema, and
bronchial tree have all been associated with eliminating Cr(VI) from the body.
The model, when completed, will represent the complete delivery process, from the medical device vapor release to its travel down a patient's
bronchial tree and into the pulmonary artery.
Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the lining of the "
bronchial tree"--the bronchi and their smaller branches, the bronchioles--resulting in narrowing of the airways and difficulty in breathing.
Each lobe is supplied by branched airways called the
bronchial tree, which branches to form right and left primary bronchi that again divide into secondary bronchi.
Three-quarters of the youths also suffered centriacinar-region lung disease -- a condition characterized by chronic inflammation, and often structural aberations, in the smallest, terminal "twigs" of the
bronchial tree.
