I don't know about the German, but I think the English is probably a

layperson's term for bronchioli (perhaps both the terminal bronchioles

and the respiratory bronchioles.)

Hope this helps,

Hi Sabine,

I think, the most appropriate translation is " kleine Atemwege " . I suppose, this

is no highly specialized text and mainly for non-professionals, such as people

suffering from asthma. I would therefore not use the term " Bronchioli " .

Regards,

Sonja

I normally don't translate medical texts, but sometimes it happens to have

articles with some (normally easy) medical content.

I have this sentence:

Consequently it has the highest lung deposition and it can even reach the small

airways.

And I have a problem with the German translation of " small airways " - could it

be " Bronchiolen " ?

The whole article is about an asthma medicine based on corticosteroids.

Thank you for any hint.

Sabine
