FREE respiratory images

You already know that I'm slowly adding to the Free Image Library at The A&P Professor website.  I've recently added a few images related to the Respiratory System to the collection.

All the images are either copyright-free or provide a free license to re-use them with permission.  So you can use them to . . .

• Add them to your PowerPoint slides.
  
  
• Use them in handouts or outlines.
  
  
• Use them in tests or worksheets. Many of them have numbered and/or unlabeled versions that make this easy for you.
  
  
• Provide them to students to use for their reports, projects, or concept maps.
  
  
• Use them as icons for your website or learning management system.
  
  
• Illustrate case studies with medical images or clinical procedures.
  
  
• Use pathology images to hammer home concepts of normal anatomy and physiology.
  
  
• Make your own anatomy T-shirts using iron-on transfer paper to print the images.
  
  
• Receive inspiration to become a scientific illustrator.  (Then call me, I can use your help!)

Why not just use the images provided by the publisher of your textbook?

• No textbook contains all the variations of how to draw a structure or concept.  Use alternate images to help drive home a particular point.
  
  
• Students aren't really learning their anatomy and physiology if they memorize a particular diagram.  Using alternate diagrams on worksheets and tests pushes them to learn where things really are in the body. . . not where they happen to be labeled in the book.
  
  
• Textbooks must conserve space to remain a practical tool.  There are many images that would be great to show students . . . such as medical images, portraits of A&P heroes or sources of eponyms, or amazing micrographs . . . that are simply not appropriate for a beginning-level textbook.
  

This image of an iron lung is not appropriate for a textbook, perhaps, but it might help you explain the concept of how pressure affects the mechanics of breathing.

Please send me your ideas for images that you need (maybe I can find them for you).

I'll be updating you when I add more topics to the Free Image Library.

If you have any suggestions for additional subjects for images, let me know and I'll try to find them for you.
