What Is Bronchitis ?

The bronchial tubes are a part of the respiratory system, and their function is to pass air from the trachea, or wind pipe, to the lungs. The air passage is lined with tiny hair like structures known as cilia. Under normal circumstances, the cilia filter and stop irritant particles from entering the lungs.

How Long Does Bronchitis Last ?

The medical condition illustrated by an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes that connect the trachea or windpipe to the lungs is known as bronchitis. The consequences of this swelling are decreased air flow in the lungs and the increased formation of mucus in the air passage.
