Emphysema of the lungs, CT scan
Emphysema. Coloured 3-D computed tomography (CT) scan of the lungs, showing advanced emphysema of the right lung (left). Emphysema is a disease in which the tiny lung air sacs (alveoli)

Heart and lungs. Historical artwork of the heart (pink) and lungs (red, left and right) seen from behind. Dissection hooks have been used to draw back the lung tissue

Coloured bronchogram showing bronchiectasis

Chronic bronchitis, X-ray
Chronic bronchitis, coloured X-ray. This condition almost exclusively affects smokers. It is often associated with emphysema, which is known as COLD (chronic obstructive lung disease)

Asthma, artwork
Asthma. Computer artwork of allergens (green) in the airways of the lungs. Allergens, such as dust and pollen, can trigger an asthma attack

Childhood asthma. Artwork of a childs respiratory system showing the mucus (yellow) and narrowing of the airways (bronchioles) in paediatric asthma

Inflamed lungs

Asthma inhaler use
Illustration showing the use of a Ventolin inhaler to control recurrent attacks of asthma, featuring a cutaway drawing of a man which shows the " tree" of branching airways in both lungs

Bronchial tree, computer artwork. The human bronchial tree is the network of airways serving both lungs. The trunk of the tree is the trachea (windpipe, top centre)

Lungs, computer artwork. Both the bronchial tree, the network of airways serving both lungs, and the overall shape of the lungs, is shown here

Lungs, artwork
Artwork of the lungs showing the trachea (windpipe, at top) dividing into two bronchi which lead into each lung. The lungs have multiple lobes and are the organs of breathing (respiration)

Respiratory system, artwork
Artwork of the human respiratory system showing the trachea (windpipe, purple) dividing into two bronchi which lead into each lung (brown)

Heart and lungs, historical illustration. 19th Century hand coloured lithographic print showing the lungs (left and right) situated either side of the heart (lower centre)

Respiratory anatomy, 19th Century artwork. Historical hand coloured lithographic print showing the trachea (wind pipe, vertical) running down from the larynx (voicebox)

Respiratory anatomy, artwork
Respiratory anatomy. Computer artwork showing the structure of the human respiratory system, including the lungs (left and right), larynx (voicebox, upper centre) and trachea (windpipe, purple)

Respiratory nerves, 1844 artwork
Respiratory nerves. These anatomical artworks are figures 2-3, plate 49, volume 3 (1844) of Traite complet de l anatomie de l homme (1831-1854)

Respiratory tract, artwork
Respiratory tract. Computer artwork showing the various stages and structures of the human respiratory tract. Air is drawn in through the oral and/or nasal cavities, and passes down the trachea

Human lungs. Anatomical artwork of the human lungs and respiratory system. The heart (which has been removed here) is located between the lungs

Bronchus and bronchioles, artwork
Bronchus and bronchioles. Artwork of the anatomical structure of the bronchi and their bronchioles, the main aspects of the respiratory system

Airways of the lungs, artwork
Artwork of the airways of the lungs showing the trachea (windpipe, at top) dividing into two bronchi which in turn divide into many bronchioles supplying air during breathing (respiration)

Lungs and trachea, artwork. The lungs are where blood is oxygenated. Breathing brings air into the lungs through the trachea (windpipe) at upper centre

Bronchial tree and lungs, artwork
Bronchial tree. Computer artwork representing a human bronchial tree and lungs. The human bronchial tree is the network of airways serving both lungs

Bronchi: The Vital Pathways of the Respiratory System The bronchi, a crucial component of our respiratory system, play a significant role in ensuring efficient breathing. As depicted in the lung diagram and cross-section biomedical illustrations, these intricate air passages are intricately connected to the trachea and lungs. In human lungs, they branch out like delicate tree branches, transporting oxygen-rich air from the trachea into smaller airways called bronchioles. These blood vessels of the chest and neck supply vital nutrients to support their function. Anatomical artwork showcases how inflamed they are cause breathing difficulties during childhood. This condition is further illustrated through digital cross-sections where allergens such as pollen infiltrate both the trachea and bronchioles, triggering discomfort for individuals with allergies. For asthmatics, another digital illustration demonstrates how their trachea and bronchioles differ from those without this respiratory condition. Asthma causes constriction within these pathways leading to reduced airflow. Understanding how medications work is essential for managing respiratory ailments effectively. Biomedical illustrations reveal that before ingesting a bronchodilator drug, muscle contractions narrow the airway walls causing restricted breathing. However, after taking this medication, muscles relax allowing for increased airflow by widening these passageways. These captivating visuals provide invaluable insights into both healthy and compromised states of our respiratory system. Appreciating the complexity of our bronchi reminds us of their significance in maintaining optimal lung function while emphasizing proper care for overall well-being.
