Answer: an inflammation of the air passages to the lungs.  

Bronchitis came from the root word bronchi that can be seen in the lungs and a suffix of “tis” attached to it, which means an inflammation.

Therefore, bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane in the air passages or bronchial tubes of the lungs that usually causes bronchospasm and coughing.

Moreover, prefixes, root words and suffixes are building blocks derived from Latin or Greek to construct medical terms.

What is the best boat-over-boat technique of rescuing a capsized paddle craft?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The Boat-Over-Boat Technique should be performed when a capsized paddler is unable to re-enter their paddle craft without assistance. This open-water rescue technique requires a second kayak or canoe to be properly performed.

Explanation:

Step 1: The capsized paddler helps position your paddle craft so that it’s perpendicular to their capsized paddle craft (when in proper position, the two paddle craft should form a ‘T’ shape).

Step 2: Grasp the end of the capsized paddle craft that’s near you,  while the capsized paddler pushes down on the other end of it to raise it upwards.

Step 3: Pull the capsized paddle craft on top of your own paddle craft to allow it to drain (when in proper position, this should form a '+' shape).

Step 4: Once drained and righted, you should slide the drained paddle craft back into the water.

Step 5: Hold the two paddle craft side by side to assist the capsized paddler while they re-enter their paddle craft.

Hope this is what you're asking and this helps there is also other maneuvers you can use when capsized.
