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.

Answer:

Epinephrine hormone.

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system consists of the somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system. The somatic part of the autonomic nervous system regulates the stress condition of the body.

The nervous system and hormone system together work during the stress condition. The epinephrine hormone is released by the adrenal medula. This hormone increases the blood flow, blood pressure, dilation of the pupil and increases the breathing pattern to prepare the body for the fight and flight mechanism during stress condition.

Thus, the answer is epinephrine.
