Alveoli in the lung, artwork
Alveoli in the lung. Computer artwork showing the alveoli (spheres) and bronchioles (tubes) of the lungs. The alveoli are the tiny air sacs of the lungs where gases are exchanged between the air in the lungs and the blood. Bronchioles are small airways that carry inhaled air to the alveoli, and used air from them

Alveoli Alveolus Bronchiole Bronchioles Gas Exchange Lung Lungs Pulmonary Respiratory System Respiratory Tract
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the alveoli in the lungs, depicted through stunning computer artwork. The image portrays a close-up view of these vital structures, with spherical alveoli and tubular bronchioles forming an elaborate network within the respiratory system. The alveoli, represented as tiny air sacs, play a crucial role in gas exchange between the lungs and blood. It is here that oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide is released for exhalation. This process ensures our bodies receive essential oxygen to sustain life. Accompanying the alveoli are bronchioles - small airways responsible for transporting fresh air to these delicate sacs and carrying away used air. Together, they form an intricate pathway that facilitates efficient respiration. This artwork not only highlights their anatomical significance but also emphasizes their importance for maintaining a healthy pulmonary system. By capturing this detailed illustration, Science Photo Library provides us with a visual representation of one of nature's marvels – showcasing how our body functions seamlessly to support our survival. Without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation, this mesmerizing print serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance found within our own biological makeup.
