Heart anatomy, artwork
Heart anatomy, artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried into the right side of the heart (left) via the vena cava. From here, the blood travels into the lungs via the pulmonary arteries, where it is oxygenated. The blood is then carried into the left side of the heart (right) via the pulmonary veins, before travelling back into the body via the aorta, where it can exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide and start the cycle all over again. The blood vessels on the surface of the heart supply it with oxygen (red) and take away its waste products (blue)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork of the heart anatomy. The intricate design beautifully depicts the complexity and functionality of this vital organ. As a hollow muscle, the heart tirelessly pumps blood throughout our bodies, ensuring oxygen is delivered to every cell. The image highlights the journey of deoxygenated blood entering the right side of the heart through the vena cava. From there, it travels to the lungs via pulmonary arteries for oxygenation. Once enriched with oxygen, this revitalized blood returns to the left side of the heart through pulmonary veins before being pumped back into circulation through the aorta. The black background accentuates every detail in vibrant red and blue hues representing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood respectively. The network of blood vessels on its surface illustrates how they supply essential nutrients while removing waste products from this remarkable organ. Labelled with precision, this artwork provides an educational insight into cardiac anatomy and circulatory system function. It serves as a reminder that maintaining cardiovascular health is crucial for overall well-being. Created by Science Photo Library, renowned for their scientific imagery expertise, this print combines artistry with biological accuracy. Perfect for anyone fascinated by biology or seeking aesthetic inspiration from nature's wonders, it offers both visual appeal and educational value.
