Description

This vivid illustration offers an in-depth look at the pulmonary alveoli, highlighting the microscopic structures that facilitate the exchange of gases in the lungs. It shows the alveolar sacs in close detail, demonstrating their proximity to the capillaries and the thin barrier that allows for efficient gas diffusion. By visualizing the complex interactions between alveoli, bronchioles, and blood vessels, this image enhances understanding of the respiratory system. Perfect for educators and researchers, it provides valuable insight into respiratory mechanics and can be used for studying diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
