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. A cross- section through a division of a bronchus is shown in detail at bottom right. A Ventolin inhaler contains the drug salbutamol, which dilates the bronchial muscles allowing air to pass to the lungs. In bronchial asthma a narrowing of the airways is produced by spasm of the muscles in the bronchial tubes. These spasms are associated with swelling of the lining surfaces accompanied by an increased in mucous secretion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library depicts the effective use of a Ventolin inhaler to manage recurrent asthma attacks. The illustration showcases a cutaway drawing of a man, revealing the intricate "tree" of branching airways in his lungs. At the bottom right corner, a detailed cross-section through a division of a bronchus is displayed. The Ventolin inhaler contains salbutamol, an essential drug that works by dilating the bronchial muscles and enabling smooth airflow into the lungs. In individuals with bronchial asthma, these airways become constricted due to muscle spasms and swelling of the lining surfaces, often accompanied by excessive mucous secretion. This artwork beautifully captures both the complexity and importance of managing this chronic respiratory condition. Asthma sufferers rely on bronchodilators like Ventolin to alleviate symptoms and regain control over their breathing. By opening up narrowed air passages, this medication helps restore normal respiration patterns. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this image serves as an educational tool for healthcare professionals and patients alike. It highlights how medical interventions can effectively combat asthma's debilitating effects on lung function. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable visual resources that bridge artistry with medicine, fostering greater understanding and awareness surrounding various diseases and conditions such as asthma.
