Heart and glowing light, computer artwork. The heart (red) is a hollow sac of muscular tissue that pumps blood around the body

Heart of glass, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. The vena cava vein (upper left) carries deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body

Lung blood vessels, X-ray
Lung blood vessels. Coloured angiogram of the heart and pulmonary arteries. The heart is at lower right. The left and right pulmonary arteries branch from the top of the heart

Heart and lungs. Historical artwork of the heart (pink) and lungs (red, left and right) seen from behind. Dissection hooks have been used to draw back the lung tissue

Lung function test traces. Pen tracing the results from a lung function test onto graph paper. It is measuring the maximum rate at which air is expelled from the lungs

Breathing research. Medical researcher observing a woman exercising as equipment is used to monitor her breathing. This is a functional diagnostics laboratory in Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia

Chronic bronchitis, X-ray
Chronic bronchitis, coloured X-ray. This condition almost exclusively affects smokers. It is often associated with emphysema, which is known as COLD (chronic obstructive lung disease)

Bacterial pneumonia infection. Light micrograph of pneumonia bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae, rod- shaped, pink) among cells in a sample of pus from a pneumonia patient. K

Childhood asthma. Artwork of a childs respiratory system showing the mucus (yellow) and narrowing of the airways (bronchioles) in paediatric asthma

Deep vein thrombosis, artwork
Deep vein thrombosis. Computer artwork showing blood clots in a leg (brown lumps, bottom right), caused by deep vein thrombosis (DVT), moving to blood vessels in the lungs (blue, top right)

SARS protection face mask
MODEL RELEASED. SARS protection face mask. Woman wearing a face mask to protect her against the SARS virus. SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)

Artwork of lung oedema in heart failure
Lung oedema in heart failure. Illustration showing leakage of fluid (oedema) into the lung due to heart failure. A magnified circle shows one of the lungs air sacs filled with fluid

Loss of lung tissue, X-ray
Lung cavities. Coloured chest X-ray showing large cavities (dark red) in the lungs of a patient in a case of Wegeners granulomatosis

Unhealthy heart, conceptual image. The main blood vessels of the heart include the vena cava (upper left), where blood arrives form the body

Lung fibrosis, CT scan
Lung fibrosis. Image 2 of 3. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan through the chest of a patient with lung (pulmonary) fibrosis

Fibrosis of the lung, X-ray
Lung fibrosis. Coloured X-ray of the chest of a patient with pulmonary (lung) fibrosis, or interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is the overgrowth of fibrous scar tissue (dark red)

Bronchitis, X-ray
Bronchitis. Coloured bronchography (X-ray) of swollen bronchioles (orange) in the right lung. Bronchitis causes the network of airways in the lungs to become swollen and produce mucus

Asthma. Computer artwork of allergens (blue and green) amongst alveoli (tiny air sacs, beige) in a lung. Allergens, such as dust and pollen, can trigger an asthma attack

SARS virus, TEM
SARS virus particle, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an often fatal lung disease that first appeared in China in 2002

Hantavirus bursting from a cell
Hantavirus infection. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of hantavirus particles (yellow/green) bursting from a human cell

Hantavirus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a hantavirus. This causes haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS)

Viral lung infection, conceptual artwork

Healthy lungs, artwork

Healthy small intestines, artwork

Bronchial tree, computer artwork. The human bronchial tree is the network of airways serving both lungs. The trunk of the tree is the trachea (windpipe, top centre)

Heart of glass, artwork
Heart of glass, conceptual computer artwork

Lungs, computer artwork. Both the bronchial tree, the network of airways serving both lungs, and the overall shape of the lungs, is shown here

Incentive spirometer

Lung aneurysm, light micrograph. The lumen of the blood vessel is occluded with a large thrombus (orange). The vessel endothelium and muscle is largely replaced with dense connective tissue (red)
