Morphology
Etymology
The word tracheobronchial comes from two parts: tracheo- from trachea meaning 'windpipe' and bronch- from bronchus meaning 'air tube'. You can see bronch- in the common word bronchitis. So tracheobronchial refers to the parts that belong to both the windpipe and the airways to the lungs.
