LUNG, ANATOMY
Model of the intern anatomy of the lung of an adult human body (anterior view). The intern structure of the left lung is depicted. Inside the lung, the bronchial tree (in light blue) consists of the lobal and segmental bronchi, and then the bronchioles and terminal bronchioles. The lung blood circulation is composed of the pulmonary arteries (in gray), carrying the deoxygenated blood to the alveoli, and the pulmonary veins (in red), which send back the oxygenated blood to the heart. The heart contains four cavities: two atriums in its upper part (anteriorly covered by the auricles, in beige) and two ventricles in its lower part. The ventricles (in light orange) are wandered by the coronary circulation. The deoxygenated blood is propeled from the right half of the heart to the lung via the pulmonary trunk and arteries (in gray). The blood oxygenated by the lungs (arterial blood) is next sent back to the left half of the heart (via the pulmonary veins, in red), which propels it in the whole body through the aorta. The diaphragm separates the thorax from the abdominal cavity.
