0 in the lungs, one of the very small tubes that branch out from the bronchi and connect to the alveoli (= little air bags) --
These bronchioles give rise to the air sacs in the lungs called the alveoli.
Crackles are often associated with inflammation or infection of the small bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
It is a parasitic bacterium that invades the mucosal membranes of the upper and lower respiratory tract, including nasopharynx, throat, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
Not all particles can enter the bronchioles and ultimately the alveoli of the lung and cause mechanical and subsequent pathogenic malformations and disease.
Fibrinoid necrosis of walls of arterial branches rarely was observed at branch points of arteries at the level of the terminal bronchiole.
The lower photograph is an old, dilated terminal bronchiole with a hugely dilated respiratory bronchiole/alveolar duct coming off it, taken from an 83-year old.
In the bronchi and larger bronchioles the fibres are arranged predominantly longitudinally.
In the bronchi and larger bronchioles, the fibres are arranged predominantly longitudinally.
