Definitions
The conducting airway of the lungs found terminal to the bronchi; these structures contain neither cartilage nor mucous-secreting glands; the epithelium of the bronchioles becomes thinner with each branching. In some texts/references/ontologies, bronchiole has been used as an exact synonym of 'lobular bronchiole'. However, a 'lobular bronchiole' is a segment of a bronchiole.
