Healthy and constricted bronchi, artwork
Healthy and constricted bronchi. Computer artwork of a cross-section through a healthy (left) and a constricted (right) lung airway (bronchus). The healthy airway has a wide lumen (core) through which breathing can occur normally. The inflamed constricted airway has a narrowed lumen following contraction of the outer muscle layer (red) and swelling of the mucous lining, leading to congestion and impaired breathing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a cross-section of bronchi, providing a visual representation of the stark contrast between healthy and constricted lung airways. On the left side, we witness the beauty of a healthy airway with its wide lumen, allowing for unobstructed breathing. The vibrant colors and clear passage symbolize normal respiratory function. However, on the right side, we are confronted with an inflamed and constricted airway that reveals the detrimental effects of disease or condition. The narrowed lumen resulting from muscle contraction and mucous lining swelling creates congestion and impairs breathing. This portrayal vividly captures the struggle faced by individuals suffering from asthma or other pulmonary disorders. The white background emphasizes the focus on these intricate structures while also highlighting their abnormality when afflicted by inflammation or constriction. Through this illustration, medical professionals can better understand how allergies or asthmatic reactions impact our lungs' vital airways. Science Photo Library's expertise in healthcare imagery is evident in this thought-provoking print. It serves as a valuable educational tool to raise awareness about respiratory health issues while showcasing both healthy and unhealthy conditions for comparison purposes. With no commercial intentions behind it, this artwork solely aims to contribute to scientific knowledge and promote understanding within the medical community.
