A detailed anatomical illustration of an alveolus (lung air sac), highlighting its microscopic structure and function in freediving respiration. The image showcases the capillary network surrounding the alveolus, emphasizing oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, crucial for maximizing breath-hold efficiency. The alveolar walls, composed of thin epithelial cells, are intricately detailed, along with surfactant-producing cells and macrophages, aiding lung elasticity and adaptation in freediving. The labeled diagram provides a scientific yet artistic depiction, illustrating the importance of lung capacity and gas diffusion for deep dives and breath control.
