Bronchitis is a more general term which includes both large and small bronchi in the lungs (and trachea).
Of the small bronchial passages would be bronchiolitis.

The suffix "-itis" means inflammation
The main bronchial tubes are the "bronchi" so inflammation of them is "bronchitis"
The small bronchial tubes (1mm downwards) are the "bronchioli," so inflammation of them is technically "bronchiolitis" though many doctors when talking to an ordinary patient will use the term "bronchitis" as the neaerest medical term the public are likely to be able to understand.
