Greetings Card : Artwork of the respiratory system of an asthmatic
Cards from Science Photo Library
Artwork of the respiratory system of an asthmatic
Asthma. Cut-away illustration of the respiratory system showing the effects of asthma. The trachea (windpipe) is at top and the alveoli, air sacs (white), are at bottom. At upper right the cut- away bronchioles reveal their excessive sputum, or phlegm (green). In asthma, a trigger, such as an allergen, causes bronchiole narrowing, resulting in inflammation and shortness of breath. In response, mucus-producing goblet cells (one seen magnified at upper centre) produce too much sputum. This coats the tentacle-like cilia of the bronchiole lining (epithelium). Alternatively the artwork may represent bronchitis, where infection or irritation cause inflammation directly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate details of the respiratory system in an asthmatic individual. The cut-away illustration provides a clear depiction of how asthma affects the lungs. At the top, we see the trachea, or windpipe, leading down to the alveoli at the bottom - these air sacs are crucial for efficient breathing. In this image, bronchioles have been cut open to reveal their excessive sputum or phlegm in a vivid green color. This excess mucus is a common symptom of asthma and can lead to narrowing of the bronchioles, resulting in inflammation and difficulty breathing. The magnified view at upper center highlights mucus-producing goblet cells responsible for producing an abundance of sputum. This overproduction coats the delicate cilia lining within bronchioles, impairing their function as tiny tentacle-like structures that help move mucus out of our airways. Alternatively, this artwork may also represent bronchitis - another condition where infection or irritation directly causes inflammation within the respiratory system. Overall, this thought-provoking print from Science Photo Library serves as a powerful visual representation of lung disorders such as asthma and bronchitis. It emphasizes both medical knowledge and artistic creativity while shedding light on these important health issues affecting millions worldwide.
