Here are two examples of animations used in the interactive medical terminology course to improve your knowledge of anatomy and reinforce your understanding of medical terms:
The alveoli are the blindly ending air sacs found at the end of the airways in the lungs. These are essential for the efficient exchange of respiratory gases to keep us alive. In each alveolus oxygen diffuses into the blood whilst carbon dioxide (a waste gas ) leaves. Gases leaving the alveoli are breathed out in expired air.
Alveolitis - inflammation of the alveoli can cause difficulty in breathing and occasionally respiratory failure.
