The term "bronchial" refers to the larger airways within the lungs, called the bronchi or bronchial tubes. These tubes branch off into the smaller airways that contain the alveoli, or air sacs.

Bronchial conditions (such as Asthma) prevent sufficient airflow through the tubes, either through inflammation, edema, or adhesion of the tube walls.
