The Tree and its Roots in the Lungs created from the right and left pulmonary Veins shows the evolution of this art piece.Top left is the original 3D reconstruction of the left atrium and pulmonary veins. In the image top right, the first image has been rotated 90degrees and converted into a mirror image by a horizontal flip. In the borrom image the roots underground have been created in earth color and above the ground the tree and its trunks are colored green, and a few flowers added for effect

The Alveolus 3D
This drawing demonstrates the open mouth view of the alveolus, which is surrounded by its tree like capillary network. The lining single layer of squamous cells (pneumocytes) can be seen peaking through the vessels.

Tree Like Morphology of the Pulmonary Trunk and Left Pulmonary Artery 
The left pulmonary artery seen in the left upper image is turned 90 degrees anticlockwise to reflect it upright shape of a tree (top left)) then flipped 90degrees and colored over  to reveal its tree like morphology.                                                                                                                                                  keywords lung pulmonary artery pulmonary trunk
