Asthma. Computer artwork of allergens (blue and green) amongst alveoli
Asthma. Computer artwork of allergens (blue and green) amongst alveoli (tiny air sacs, beige) in a lung. Allergens, such as dust and pollen, can trigger an asthma attack. Asthma is a condition in which the small airways of the lungs (bronchioles, which end in alveoli) constrict making it difficult to breathe. This causes coughing, wheezing and breathlessness. Asthma usually develops during childhood and generally improves as the patient matures. Treatment is with bronchodilator drugs, which widen the airways

Allergen Allergens Allergic Alveoli Alveolus Asthma Asthmatic Attacking Bronchiole Bronchioles Irritating Lungs Pulmonary Respiratory System Trigger Computer Artwork Condition Disorder Health Care
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library depicts the intricate and delicate nature of our respiratory system, specifically focusing on the condition known as asthma. The computer artwork showcases allergens, represented by vibrant blue and green particles, amidst the alveoli - tiny air sacs in a lung that enable oxygen exchange. It is these very allergens, such as dust and pollen, that can trigger an asthma attack. Asthma is a chronic disorder characterized by the constriction of bronchioles - small airways in the lungs that lead to alveoli. This constriction makes it challenging for individuals to breathe freely, resulting in distressing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness. While asthma typically manifests during childhood years, it often improves as patients mature. The treatment for this condition involves bronchodilator drugs which work to widen the constricted airways. By doing so, they alleviate breathing difficulties and provide relief to asthmatic individuals. This visually striking illustration serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to understand and manage respiratory health effectively. With its vivid portrayal of allergens attacking within our lungs' intricate network of bronchioles and alveoli, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our bodies when faced with conditions like asthma.
