|---|---|
| bronchiogenic | <anatomy> Originating from the bronchi. Examples include bronchogenic carcinoma (cancer). Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce (27 Sep 1997) |
| bronchiolar adenocarcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma, thought to be derived from epithelium of terminal bronchioles, in which the neoplastic tissue extends along the alveolar walls and grows in small masses within the alveoli; involvement may be uniformly diffuse and massive, or nodular, or lobular; microscopically, the neoplastic cells are cuboidal or columnar and form papillary structures; mucin may be demonstrated in some of the cells and in the material in the alveoli, which also includes denuded cells; metastases in regional lymph nodes, and even in more distant sites, are known to occur, but are infrequent. Synonym: alveolar cell carcinoma, bronchiolar adenocarcinoma, bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| bronchiolar exocrine cell | A rounded, club-shaped, nonciliated cell protruding between ciliated cell's in bronchiolar epithelium; believed to be secretory in function. Synonym: bronchiolar exocrine cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiole | <anatomy> This refers to the smaller airways in the lungs. A minute subdivisions of the bronchi that terminate in the alveoli (oxygen exchange apparatus). (13 Nov 1997) |
| bronchiolectasia | Bronchiectasis involving the bronchioles. Synonym: bronchiolectasia. Origin: bronchiole + G. Ektasis, a stretching (05 Mar 2000) |

| bronchioles | The tiny branches of air tubes within the lungs which are the continuation of bronchi and connect to the alveoli (air sacs). (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchioli | The pleural of bronchiolus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchioli respiratorii | The smallest bronchioles (0.5 mm in diameter) that connect the terminal bronchioles to alveolar ducts; alveoli rise from part of the wall. Synonym: bronchioli respiratorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis | <chest medicine, paediatrics> This refers to inflammation of the bronchioles, usually secondary to viral infection (RSV). (13 Nov 1997) |
| bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans | Obstruction of bronchioles and alveolar ducts by fibrous granulation tissue induced by mucosal ulceration; the condition may follow inhalation of irritant gases (see silo-filler's lung) or may complicate pneumonia (see BOOP); associated with obstructive findings (see unilateral hyperlucent lung, Swyer-James syndrome). Synonym: bronchiolitis obliterans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis obliterans | Inflammation of the bronchioles with obstruction by fibrous granulation tissue or bronchial exudate. It may follow inhalation of irritating gases or foreign bodies and it complicates pneumonia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia | A disease formerly considered a form of interstitial pneumonia. Its aetiology is obscure but it may be associated with toxic fumes, infection, and connective tissue disease. Clinical symptoms include cough, dyspnea and influenza-like symptoms with the development of the usual interstitial pneumonia in many cases. Obstructive symptoms are limited to smokers. There are patchy polypoid masses of intra-alveolar granulation tissue in small airway lumina and alveolar ducts. "organizing" refers to unresolved pneumonia (in which the alveolar exudate persists and eventually undergoes fibrosis) in which fibrous tissue forms in the alveoli. (12 Dec 1998) |
