bronchiolar
Of small airways
Bronchiolar means relating to or affecting the bronchioles—the tiny airways that branch from the bronchi deep in the lungs.
The term appears in medical contexts: bronchiolar inflammation, bronchiolar epithelium.
Where bronchial refers to the larger airways, bronchiolar specifies the smallest branches of the respiratory tree.
