Human lungs, anatomical artwork
Human lungs. Anatomical artwork of the human lungs (red, centre left and right) and respiratory system. The heart (which has been removed here) is located between the lungs. At top is the voicebox (larynx, red) and trachea (windpipe, white), leading down to the lungs. The trachea splits (at centre) into the bronchi that supply air to each lung

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of the human respiratory system. The focal point is a pair of vibrant red lungs, positioned at the center left and right of the image. These vital organs are responsible for oxygenating our blood and removing carbon dioxide, enabling us to breathe effortlessly. Surrounding the lungs is an array of anatomical details that highlight their connection to other essential structures within our body. The heart, although absent in this print, typically resides between these two lung powerhouses. Above them lies the voicebox or larynx, depicted in striking red hues, which plays a crucial role in producing sound through vocal cord vibrations. The white trachea or windpipe gracefully descends from the larynx towards its ultimate destination - our lungs. At its midpoint, it branches into bronchi that supply air to each lung individually. This branching pattern ensures efficient distribution of oxygen throughout our respiratory system. Rendered against a clean white background, this illustration allows us to appreciate not only the external appearance but also internal features such as bronchioles and cartilage that maintain structural integrity. Overall, this visually stunning artwork provides a glimpse into one of nature's most remarkable systems - our respiratory system - reminding us just how intricately designed and interconnected every aspect of our bodies truly is.
