When you breathe, the air moves from you mouth, down the trachea, then there is a fork called the Bronchi where air either goes into the right or left lung. This tube, the Bronchi, is what gets infected. The suffix -itis means inflammation, and Bronchitis is the inflammation of the Bronchi, hence the name!

your lungs

In particular it affects the feet, which are the air passages leading to the lungs. the suffix 'itis' means inflammation so bronchitis literally means inflammation of the bronchi.

It is caused by long term exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, which causes the bronchi to become inflamed and cause excess mucus production. This all leads to less air being able to travel through the bronchi, which results in less air getting to the lungs so the person will become very short of breath. teehe i was hea
The lungs.

Bronchitis is the condition where the main air passages to the lungs become inflamed.

Bronchitis mainly effects the lungs. One other part of the body that it tends to effect is the feet because they have poor circulation.... leading tio the lungs.
