| bronchial fremitus | Adventitious pulmonary sounds or voice sounds perceptible to the hand resting on the chest, as well as by the ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bronchial glands | Mucous and seromucous glands whose secretory units lie outside the muscle of the bronchi. See: bronchopulmonary lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial hyperreactivity | Tendency of the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree to contract more intensely in response to a given stimulus than it does in the response seen in normal individuals. This condition is present in virtually all symptomatic patients with asthma. The most prominent manifestation of this smooth muscle contraction is a decrease in airway caliber that can be readily measured in the pulmonary function laboratory. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchial pneumonia | <chest medicine> A name given to an inflammation of the lungs which usually begins in the terminal bronchioles. These become clogged with a mucopurulent exudate forming consolidated patches in adjacent lobules. The disease is frequently secondary in character, following infections of the upper respiratory tract, specific infectious fevers and debilitating diseases. In infants and debilitated persons of any age it may occur as a primary affection. Synonym: bronchial pneumonia, bronchoalveolitis, bronchopneumonitis, lobular pneumonia. (11 Jan 1998) |
| bronchial polyp | A polyp growing from the bronchial mucosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial provocation tests | Tests involving inhalation of allergens (nebulised or in dust form), nebulised pharmacologically active solutions (e.g., histamine, methacholine), or control solutions, followed by assessment of respiratory function. These tests are used in the diagnosis of asthma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchial respiration | A tubular blowing sound caused by the passage of air through a bronchus in an area of consolidated lung tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial spasm | Spasmodic contraction of the smooth muscle of the bronchi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchial tubes | <anatomy> The bronchial tubes which arise from the branching of the trachea, especially. The subdivision of the bronchi. Origin: L, pl. Cf. Bronchus. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| bronchial veins | Many veins running in front of and behind the bronchi and uniting into two main trunks which empty on the right side into the azygos vein, on the left into the accessory hemiazygos or the left superior intercostal vein. Synonym: venae bronchiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial voice | A modification of the voice sounds, by which they are intensified and heightened in pitch; observed in auscultation of the chest in certain cases of intro-thoracic disease. Origin: Gr. Windpipe + sound. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| trans-bronchial biopsy | <chest medicine, procedure> A biopsy that is performed through the wall of the bronchus (using the bronchoscope). This involves obtaining a small piece of lung tissue for microscopic analysis. This is a useful alternative to an open surgical biopsy, where an incision must be made. (17 Mar 1998) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral central arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral striate arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries.
