Computer illustration showing alveoli

Alveoli. Computer graphic illustration showing the alveoli (round light blue structures), the microscopic air sacs of the lungs. They are seen wrapped by an intricate network of capillaries; it is in this network that gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, are exchanged during respiration. Alveoli are found at the end of a bronchiole, one of the many small air passages in the lungs, and are arranged in groups that resemble bunches of grapes. About 300 million alveoli are found in each lung

Air Sac Alveolus Computer Graphic Lung Lungs Respiratory System


EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer illustration showcases the intricate beauty of alveoli, the microscopic air sacs that play a vital role in our respiratory system. The round, light blue structures represent these tiny sacs found at the end of bronchioles within our lungs. Wrapped around them is an elaborate network of capillaries, forming a mesmerizing visual display. Within this delicate network lies the crucial process of gas exchange during respiration. Carbon dioxide and oxygen effortlessly flow through these thin walls, ensuring our bodies receive the oxygen they need while expelling waste gases. It's fascinating to witness how nature has designed such an efficient mechanism for sustaining life. The arrangement of alveoli resembles clusters of grapes, with each lung housing approximately 300 million of these remarkable structures. Their sheer number highlights their importance in maintaining healthy breathing patterns and overall well-being. This awe-inspiring image not only provides a glimpse into the intricacies of human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how extraordinary our bodies truly are. Through this computer graphic representation by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into one aspect that keeps us alive – the incredible alveoli within our lungs.
