Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Allergens in trachea
Allergens in trachea. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of the trachea (windpipe) with a number of pollen grains (yellow) attached. These airborne particles, which are breathed in those the nose or mouth, may cause asthma or hayfever (allergic rhinitis). The surface of the trachea is made up of cells with hair-like cilia (brown). Together with mucus produced by goblet cells, these cilia serve to trap airborne particles and by beating upwards in a wave-like motion they remove foreign matter from the air tubes and lungs. In asthmatic or allergic patients, such particles may lead to a hyper- sensitive reaction causing breathing difficulties

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of allergens within the trachea, or windpipe. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a multitude of pollen grains (highlighted in yellow) clinging to the surface of the trachea. These tiny airborne particles, when inhaled through our nose or mouth, have the potential to trigger asthma attacks or hayfever symptoms such as allergic rhinitis. The surface of the trachea is composed of specialized cells adorned with hair-like cilia (depicted in brown). Alongside mucus produced by goblet cells, these cilia play a crucial role in capturing and removing foreign matter from our air tubes and lungs. Through their wave-like motion that beats upwards, they effectively eliminate unwanted substances from our respiratory system. However, for individuals with asthma or allergies, these seemingly harmless particles can provoke an exaggerated immune response leading to breathing difficulties. This hyper-sensitivity reaction can be quite distressing for those affected. This remarkable image not only provides us with a glimpse into the internal workings of our bodies but also serves as a reminder of how delicate and complex our respiratory system truly is. It highlights both the importance of protecting ourselves against allergens and understanding their impact on human health.
