Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Sectioned lung affected by emphysema
Pulmonary emphysema. Sectioned lung affected by a smoking induced emphysema. In this disorder the air sacs in the lungs become enlarged and damaged reducing the surface area for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Severe emphysema causes breathlessness which may be made worse by infections. It is often associated with chronic bronchitis, smoking and advancing age. There is no specific treatment available and the patient may become dependent on oxygen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a sectioned lung affected by emphysema, specifically caused by smoking. Emphysema is a debilitating disorder that leads to the enlargement and damage of air sacs in the lungs, resulting in a reduced surface area for vital oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The severity of this condition often leads to breathlessness, which can be further exacerbated by infections. Emphysema is commonly associated with chronic bronchitis, advancing age, and most notably, smoking. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment available for this progressive disease; thus patients may become dependent on supplemental oxygen to manage their symptoms effectively. The visual impact of this image highlights the detrimental effects of long-term smoking on our respiratory system. It serves as a stark reminder that our choices have profound consequences on our health. By showcasing the physical manifestation of emphysema within the intricate structure of the lung tissue itself, viewers are compelled to contemplate the importance of maintaining healthy lungs through responsible lifestyle choices. Science Photo Library continues its commitment to providing educational resources in healthcare by capturing such powerful images that shed light on various diseases and conditions affecting human beings. This particular photograph not only educates but also encourages individuals to prioritize their well-being while discouraging harmful habits like smoking.
