Meanings
-
The bronchi together with their branches.
We explored a newly established repository providing high-resolution bronchial trees from the four most commonly studied laboratory mice (B6C3F1, BALB/c, C57BL/6[,] and CD-1).
2020 February 1, “The fractal geometry of bronchial trees differs by strain in mice”, in Journal of Applied Physiology, volume 128, number 2, American Physiological Society, →DOI, pages 362–367:Other methods of obtaining stasis which have been suggested, such as the introduction of adrenaline into the bronchial treen have not impressed us with their efficacy.
1934 October 27, “Haemoptysis”, in The British Medical Journal, page 764:If we consider the structure of the bronchial tree, we shall perceive that natural breathing tends to prevent the accumulation of matters in its tubes, in spite of gravitation.
