bronchi

You could get UV light to the large bronchi but you couldn't get UV light into all the million little aveoli.

If you tell them they have acute bronchitis, suddenly they feel empowered. It just means they have an inflammation of the bronchi.

The physical shape of the trachea, carina, and right and left mainstem bronchi was created from glass. Over the course of two days, that glass became lined with the patient's cells.

Yeah this can happen because the bronchi in the lungs is covered with this "teflon" like non-stick coating that prevents the lungs sticking together when breathing out. When a person inhales water in a near drowning this coating might get washed away resulting in the bronchi to get stuck.

While technically bronchitis could be any inflammation of the brochial tubes, a diagnosis of bronchitis usually means that that it's the patient's major problem. It'd be odd to describe a cancer as "bronchitis" even if it involved brochi.

They can have immediate and obvious effects on circulation, the sinuses, the bronchii, etc. Some may even have other medicinal aspects to manage inflammation.

If you are asthmatic and are wheezing, any psychological factor that reduces your anxiety level or helps you relax might indirectly ease your breathing symptoms and even allow your constricted bronchi to dilate. In this view, the placebo effect doesn’t really cause objective effects, it allows you to have a different experience of your symptoms and it is that different experience that indirectly affects your physiology.

Indeed, polycations induced hyperreactivity in mouse bronchi, and this effect was prevented by calcilytics and absent in mice with CaSR ablation from ASM. Calcilytics also reduced airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in allergen-sensitized mice in vivo. These data show that a functional CaSR is up-regulated in asthmatic ASM and targeted by locally produced polycations to induce hyperresponsiveness and inflammation.
