Understanding Bronchial Obstruction: Lung Anatomy and Airway Narrowing #3851346 (License: Personal Use)

This medical illustration depicts the human lungs with the trachea branching into the bronchial tree, highlighting the complex network of airways. The inset magnifies a segment of a bronchiole showing luminal narrowing due to inflammation, mucus buildup, or smooth muscle constriction-common in respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, or COPD. The color-coding emphasizes tissue layers and pathological changes for educational clarity.

Used in health education articles, medical textbooks, and patient-facing resources on respiratory disorders; supports user intent to understand symptoms, diagnosis, or pathophysiology of airway diseases.
