Structure of articular cartilage. It is a strong and elastic connective
tissue that covers the articular surfaces of bones in joints. It consists
of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix, providing cushioning and
facilitating smooth gliding of the joints.
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection affecting the alveoli, caused by
Aspergillus spores. It leads to inflammation, impaired gas exchange,
and respiratory symptoms, especially in weakened immune systems.
Asthmatic airways. It represents the narrowing of the bronchial
due to inflammation and excess mucus, causing difficulty
respiratory, wheezing, and cough, characteristic of asthma, a
chronic disease that affects airflow.
Asthmatic bronchi present inflammation, mucus, and
muscle contraction. The bronchi are ducts that allow
the passage of air to the lungs. These changes narrow the
airways and make it difficult to flow air and breathe.
Asthmatic bronchiolitis shows inflammation, mucus, and
muscle contraction in the bronchioles. These small ducts
are essential for the passage of air to the alveoli. This narrows
the airways and makes it difficult for air to flow.
Astigmatism affects vision. People with astigmatism see things
blurry and distorted, and have trouble focusing both up close and
far away. Glasses, contact lenses, and refractive procedures like
laser surgery can correct astigmatism.
Atherogenic plaque rupture is a critical event where a fatty plaque
breaks, forming a clot that blocks blood flow and increases the risk
of heart attack and stroke, requiring urgent medical care.
Atheroma plaque rupture is a critical event where a cholesterol
plaque breaks, forming a clot that blocks blood flow and increases
the risk of heart attack and stroke, requiring urgent medical care.
Analysis of atherosclerosis. Evaluation of the accumulation of
plaques in arteries formed by lipids and inflammatory cells, which
reduce blood flow and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases,
being key for diagnosis and prevention.
Atherosclerotic plaque and atherothrombosis. Rupture of a plaque
cholesterol in the artery that generates a clot, blocking the flow
blood flow and increasing the risk of having a heart attack and stroke
cerebrovascular, requiring urgent attention.
Athlete’s foot: this fungal infection causes redness, itching, and
scaling between the toes or on the soles. Contagion occurs in damp
and hot environments, leading to wounds and discomfort. Antifungal
treatment and proper foot hygiene are essential components for
complete recovery and health.
