What's the difference between bronchi and bronchia?
Bronchi
Definition:
(n. pl.) See Bronchus.
(pl. ) of Bronchus
Example Sentences:

(7) Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the trachea was performed in twenty-one children with congenital or acquired narrowing of the trachea or main bronchi.
(8) These findings indicate structural abnormalities in the secretory apparatus of neuroendocrine cells in dysplastic bronchi and correlate with experimental observations of aberrant hormonal production associated with bronchial dysplasia.
(9) In the genesis of small airways obstruction (SAO) we have to consider two alterations with different prognoses: the first, in which the obstruction depends on a reduction of the diameters of the small bronchi (i.e.
(10) In two of the cases in which almost the whole lungs were studied on continuous slice images with thin slice high resolution CT, sub-sub-subsegmental bronchi could be easily delineated, except in for the lingular segment.
(11) These histologic changes were not observed in the recipient bronchi during acute rejection, nor were they seen in the donor and the recipient bronchi during lung infection without rejection.
(12) At 1 week after infection, mycoplasma cells were found in large numbers in the bronchi at the surface of bronchial epithelial cells and, in smaller numbers, in the alveoli where active phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) occurred.
(13) Histidine decarboxylase activity was not found in cells of nonpathogenic neisseria, obtained from bronchi of patients with infectious asthma.
(14) The present results indicate that the systemic (bronchial) circulation is the primary source of tracheal blood flow and that both the pulmonary and systemic circulations may contribute approximately 50% of the blood flow to the main bronchi in dog lungs.
(15) The three agonists provoked significant (p less than 0.05) bronchoconstriction at the level of the main bronchi when identical falls of FEV1 were achieved.
(16) In guinea pigs sensitized with 1 microgram ovalbumin together with 100 mg Al(OH)3, somatostatin levels were selectively increased up to two and 3 times in tissue extracts from trachea and bronchi, respectively, but not in lung as compared to controls.
(17) Diseased controls showed a high PD centrally which fell (became less negative) peripherally (trachea -15.8 mV (SEM 1.0), lobar bronchi -12.6 mV (1.2), segmental bronchi -9.8 mV (1.2].
(18) The consequence of these derangements is often widespread plugging of small bronchi and bronchioles.
(19) A 50% decrease was found in the ability of carcinogen-altered bronchi to act as a substrate for lipid peroxidation mediated by Adriamycin and an approximately 30% decrease for lipid peroxidation induced by t-butyl-hydroperoxide.
(20) Peak uptake values were found 5 min after Adriamycin administration, and the amounts of Adriamycin in normal and carcinogen-altered bronchi were found to be similar.
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.
