Gaseous exchange in the alveolus (UEB Contracted)
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.

The respiration cycle - side view (UEB Uncontracted)
There are two diagrams on the page, one on the top half and one on the bottom half of the page, 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 rib and sternum 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 rib and sternum have moved downwards; the diaphragm has relaxed and moved up. This decreases the capacity of the chest and air goes out.

Breathing out (UEB Uncontracted)
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 second page shows a spirometer trace: it is like a graph with the Y axis being lung volume, and the X axis being time. The trace is a thick wavy line with spikes going across the page from left to right. There are two peaks going up towards the top of the page, and two dips going down towards the bottom of the page. The diagram is labelled with abbreviations.

The cut sections of the ribs surround the lungs to the left and right. Between them towards the bottom of the diagram is a slightly curved horizontal thick line representing the diaphragm. The ribs have lifted upwards and outwards, and the diaphragm has contracted resulting in it flattening. This increases the capacity of the chest which lowers the pressure and draws air in. 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.

Cilia and mucus secreting cells (UEB Contracted)
by Rnib BookshareThis page shows five cells from the lining of the respiratory tract; they are surrounded by an image border. 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. Four of the cells shown across the page have cilia (little hairs) which point upwards.

The human lungs (UEB Uncontracted)
This diagram shows the lungs and the respiratory tract seen from the front. 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. At the top centre of the image is the hyoid bone, which lies at the back of the mouth where the throat begins. The first part of the tract is wider as it is shared with the start of the food passageway. The cartilage of the larynx is followed by thick lines of cartilage which are the rings that keep the trachea open. In the centre of the image, the trachea divides into the left and right bronchi which lead to the left and right lungs. The right lung (on the left of the page) has three lobes. The left lung (on the right of the page) has two lobes. The bottom left of this lung has a large curved indentation which is where the heart is positioned.
