Lung abscess, X-ray
Lung abscess. Coloured X-ray showing an abscess (dense coloured area, upper right) in the upper lobe of a patients left lung (right). An abscess is an accumulation of puss within a cavity in tissue

Stomach anatomy, artwork
Stomach anatomy. Artwork showing the position of the stomach (red) in relation to other abdominal organs and the human skeleton, as seen in an anterior (frontal) view

Heart-lung anatomy, 1825 artwork
Heart-lung anatomy. Axial section through the chest at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra (T5). The front of the body is at top

Pneumothorax cross-section, artwork C016 / 6569
Pneumothorax cross-section. Artwork of an axial cross-section through a human body at the level of the heart and lungs, showing a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) during chest surgery

Lungs and diaphragm, 1825 artwork
Lungs and diaphragm. Anterior view of the chest, dissected vertically to reveal the lobes of the lungs, the diaphragm (brown, across bottom)

Lungs anatomy, artwork
Lungs anatomy, computer artwork. At top left is the trachea (windpipe, white), which splits into two bronchi, one for each lung (blue)

Heart and lung anatomy, artwork C016 / 2911
Heart and lung anatomy. Artwork of an oblique anterior (left-frontal) view of the rib-cage, heart and lungs in a male body. One lung is shown at right

Heart and lung anatomy, artwork C016 / 2909
Heart and lung anatomy. Artwork of an anterior (frontal) view of the heart and lungs in a male body. One lung is shown at right. The bronchioles (airways) inside the lungs are shown at left

Lung anatomy, artwork C016 / 2905
Lung anatomy. Artwork of an anterior (frontal) view of the lungs in a male body. One lung is shown at right. The heart is not shown

Heart and lung anatomy, artwork C016 / 2904
Heart and lung anatomy. Artwork of a posterior (from behind) view of the heart and lungs. The heart (mostly obscured) is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body and to the lungs

Miliary tuberculosis, light micrograph
Miliary tuberculosis. Light micrograph of a section through a single miliary tubercle (left) in a patients lung. Tubercles are nodular lesions of infected dead tissue that arise from tuberculosis (TB)

Heart and lung anatomy, 17th century
Heart and lung anatomy. 17th-century artwork showing the anatomical structure of the heart and lungs. This artwork is from the posthumously published anatomical work De homine figuris (1662)

Pulmonary consolidation, X-ray
Pulmonary consolidation. X-ray showing that the upper lobe of a patients left lung has become consolidated (filled with pus) due to pneumonia

Lung bronchus cross-section, SEM
Lung bronchus cross-section, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This longitudinal freeze-fracture has exposed the inner epithelial surface of a bronchus (brown)

Pneumonia infection, light micrograph
Pneumonia infection. Light micrograph of a section through lung tissue from a patient with bronchial pneumonia. Shown here is the blockage and breakdown of the air sacs

Pulmonology, the fascinating study of the respiratory system, delves deep into the intricate anatomy and functions of our lungs. From stomach anatomy to bronchial tree illustrations, artwork has played a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries of this vital organ. In an 1825 masterpiece, we witness a detailed depiction of heart-lung anatomy, showcasing their interconnectedness and symbiotic relationship. The artist's skillful strokes bring to life the complex network that allows oxygen-rich blood to flow through our bodies. Another captivating artwork showcases a cross-section view of pneumothorax - a condition where air accumulates between the lung and chest wall. This visual representation helps medical professionals understand its impact on lung function and devise effective treatment strategies. The bronchial tree takes center stage in yet another stunning illustration. Its branches spread like delicate tendrils throughout our lungs, ensuring efficient airflow and gas exchange. These artistic renderings help us appreciate the intricacy of this essential respiratory pathway. Artwork featuring lungs captures their beauty while highlighting their critical role in sustaining life. Whether it's vibrant colors or meticulous detailing, these visuals remind us how every breath fuels our existence. An 1825 artwork dedicated solely to bronchial lung anatomy provides valuable insights into this specialized structure within our respiratory system. It unravels its complexities with precision and artistry, aiding pulmonologists in diagnosing conditions affecting these specific regions. Lungs are not solitary entities but work harmoniously with other organs such as the diaphragm - showcased elegantly in an 1825 piece. This collaboration ensures proper breathing mechanics for optimal oxygenation throughout our body systems. Human respiratory system artwork serves as an educational tool for both students and experts alike by presenting a comprehensive overview of its various components working together seamlessly. Such visuals aid understanding from trachea to alveoli – each playing a unique role in respiration.
