Diseased alveoli in the lung
Diseased alveoli in the lung. Cutaway computer artwork showing the interior of diseased alveoli (spheres) and bronchioles, (tubes) and blood vessels (red and purple) of the lungs. Alveoli are the tiny air sacs of the lungs where gases are exchanged between the air in the lungs and the blood in the blood vessels that surround them. Bronchioles are small airways that carry inhaled air to the alveoli, and used air from them

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and delicate structure of diseased alveoli in the lung. Through a cutaway computer artwork, we are granted a glimpse into the interior of these tiny air sacs that play a vital role in our respiratory system. The spheres represent the diseased alveoli, while the tubes symbolize bronchioles - small airways responsible for transporting inhaled air to these sacs. The vibrant red and purple hues depict blood vessels intricately surrounding the alveoli. It is within this network of capillaries where gases are exchanged between the air in our lungs and the blood flowing through these vessels. This process ensures that oxygen enters our bloodstream while carbon dioxide exits it. By capturing this momentous scene, MEDI-MATION/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has provided us with an invaluable insight into both healthy anatomy and pulmonary afflictions. This illustration serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to maintain optimal lung health for proper gas exchange. Through its detailed portrayal, this artwork not only highlights biological structures but also emphasizes their interconnectedness within our circulatory system. It invites us to appreciate both the complexity and fragility of our respiratory tract, urging us to take proactive measures towards maintaining its well-being.
