Breathing out (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis diagram shows the outline of the chest with the lungs and respiratory tract in cross section. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The chest is facing you and is surrounded by an image border. There are also two thumbnail diagrams at the bottom of the page. At the top centre of the page is the larynx. The tract runs down and divides, going left and right into each lung. The cut sections of the ribs surround the lungs to the left and right. Between them towards the bottom of the diagram is a curved horizontal thick line representing the diaphragm. The ribs have fallen downwards and inwards, and the diaphragm has relaxed resulting in it rising. This decreases the capacity of the chest which forces air out. The two thumbnail diagrams at the bottom of the page show the shape of the chest when breathing in on the left and out on the right.

The respiration cycle - front view (Large Print)
There are two diagrams on the page, one on the top half and one on the bottom half of the page, and they both show the lungs and other contents of the chest in diagrammatic form. They are separated by a thin dashed line. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The top diagram shows the principle of breathing in. The ribs and intercostal muscles have lifted; the diaphragm is pushing down. This increases the capacity of the chest and air goes in. The bottom diagram shows the principle of breathing out. The ribs and intercostal muscles have moved downwards; the diaphragm has relaxed and moved up. This decreases the capacity of the chest, and air goes out.

Gaseous exchange in the alveolus (Large Print)
This is an image of gaseous exchange in the alveolus. It is a multi-page image set on two pages, a key and then the diagram page. A locator dot and title are shown on both pages. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Key to gaseous exchange in the alveolus. This page shows the symbols and textures used on the diagram page. A sample of the texture is on the left with its description on the right. Gaseous exchange in the alveolus. This diagram shows the principle of the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveolus in relation to a capillary. The diagram is surrounded by an image border. Air moves in and out of the alveolus through the bronchiole, at the top centre of the diagram. The circular alveolus is in the centre of the diagram. A capillary goes from the left centre of the diagram, around the bottom edge of the alveolus, to the right side. There are circular red blood cells in the capillary. As they move around the alveolus from left to right, carbon dioxide from the red blood cells diffuses into the alveolus, and then oxygen diffuses from the alveolus into the red blood cells.
