What's the difference between branchia and bronchia?
Branchia
Definition:
(n.) A gill; a respiratory organ for breathing the air contained in water, such as many aquatic and semiaquatic animals have.
Example Sentences:
(1) Enteroviruses were isolated from 12% of the digestive tract samples collected from Anodonta cygnea (9.4%) and Dreysena polymorpha (13.2%) shell species and from 8.4% of the branchiae sample from fish species Rutilus rutilus, Perca fluviatilis and Silurus glanis.
(2) In saplings of Acipensar güldenstädti Brandt while adapting to sea water with salinity of 12.5%, the main functional changes in the chloride cells of the branchiae, the thyroid gland and interrenal tissue occur within the first 12 hours.
(3) The branchiae of Artemia adapted to triple-strength sea water (105 per mil salinity) were studied with the electron microscope.
(4) The detectable positions of calcinosis cutis were mostly at the injected sites, that is, outside the right brachium followed by bilateral-branchia and crura.
Bronchia
Definition:
(n. pl.) The bronchial tubes which arise from the branching of the trachea, esp. the subdivision of the bronchi.
Example Sentences:
(1) According to the medical literature it combines a bronchial antispasmodic effect with certain bronchia secretolytic properties and has few untoward side-effects on, for instance, the heart and intestine.
(2) It is established that mucous and serous cells of trachea and bronchia uptake radio-active sulphate with different rate.
(3) It aims to differentiate trachea and bronchia from the mediastinal lymph nodes.
(4) The average levels of LMOX in normal alveolus of pulmonary tissue and in bronchia were 63% and 48% of the serum level, respectively.
(5) A genetically determined innate defect of the beta-adrenergic receptors, or a defect acquired through infections of the respiratory tract, is hence likely to be the cause of the pathologically potentiated reactivity of the bronchia.
(6) Bronchia reactivity to inhaled histamine was assessed in asymptomatic cigarette smokers and in nonsmoking atopic and nonatopic subjects.
(7) injection of l-eburnamonine (l-E) induced a moderate constriction of bronchia.
(8) An early symptom is a strong lymphatic hyperplasia in the walls of small bronchia followed by a voluminous lymphoplasmacellular infiltration of the interalveolar septa with formation of follicles containing germinal centres.
(9) In the lung, calcification of the elastic fibers of the alveolar wall and the lamina propia of the bronchia were also noted.
(10) Tracheal mucus retention and statistically significant increases (two- to four-fold) in the amount of solid material (cellular and mucus) recovered by bronchia lavage developed as a function of exposure time.
