Artwork of sputum in lungs with chronic bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis. Illustration of sputum collecting in the airways of a human lung affected by chronic bronchitis. The lobed structures are bunches of alveoli, the tiny air sacs where oxygen is absorbed into the blood. Chronic bronchitis is a common condition in which sputum, a yellow-green fluid, is coughed up regularly over a number of years. The sputum is produced by mucus-secreting cells in lungs airways when inflamed by infection or irritation. The disease also causes narrowing of airways in the lungs, and is associated with smoking. There is no cure for chronic bronchitis, which often shows an inexorable progression with increasing shortness of breath

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library depicts the intricate details of sputum collection in the airways of a human lung affected by chronic bronchitis. The lobed structures, resembling bunches of alveoli, serve as a reminder of their crucial role in oxygen absorption into the bloodstream. Chronic bronchitis, a prevalent condition, is characterized by the regular coughing up of yellow-green fluid known as sputum over an extended period. The production of this viscous substance occurs when mucus-secreting cells within the lungs' airways become inflamed due to infection or irritation. Additionally, chronic bronchitis leads to the narrowing of these vital pathways and is often associated with smoking. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for this progressive disease that gradually robs individuals of their ability to breathe freely. This thought-provoking image not only sheds light on the complexities surrounding chronic bronchitis but also serves as a stark reminder about our respiratory health and its vulnerability to external factors such as smoking and infections. It emphasizes the importance of medical intervention and care for those suffering from this debilitating disorder. Science Photo Library's dedication to capturing such detailed illustrations allows us to gain deeper insights into various diseases while fostering awareness about critical healthcare issues affecting millions worldwide.
