Description

This image beautifully captures the pulmonary alveoli, the tiny, air sacs in the lungs where the breathing happens. Each cluster is wrapped in a delicate network of red and blue vessels — representing arteries and veins — responsible for carrying oxygen into the bloodstream and removing carbon dioxide. This complex web of vessels ensures efficient gas exchange. This illustration is ideal for medical education, providing a clear representation of lung microanatomy. Researchers and students can use it to understand how diseases like pneumonia, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis affect lung function.
