👉 In medical and respiratory sciences, "bronchiogenic" refers to a type of lung tissue that is derived from the epithelial cells lining the small airways. These cells can be found in the lower part of the lungs where they are called alveoli, which are like tiny air-filled tubes that carry oxygen-rich blood through the body's tissues. Bronchiogenic cells play an important role in the respiratory system by providing a protective barrier against foreign particles and pathogens that might otherwise enter the lung.
