Heart chamber anatomy, artwork C014 / 2029
Heart chamber anatomy. Cutaway artwork revealing the four internal heart chambers and the heart valves and tendons (white). The two upper chambers are the atria. The two bottom chambers are the ventricles. This view is from the front. Blood arrives in the right atrium (upper left), is passed to the right ventricle (lower left) and is pumped to the lungs. After oxygenation in the lungs, the blood arrives back in the left atrium (upper right) and passes to the left ventricle (lower right), which pumps it round the body. Across top are the hearts major blood vessels. This artwork also shows a partial view of some of the coronary arteries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the heart chambers, providing a detailed insight into its inner workings. The artwork, titled C014 / 2029, offers a cutaway view that reveals the four internal heart chambers along with the delicate heart valves and tendons in striking white against a clean background. The upper two chambers depicted are known as atria, while the lower two are ventricles. From this frontal perspective, we can observe how blood enters through the right atrium on the upper left side before being passed to the right ventricle on the lower left side. It is then pumped to reach our lungs for oxygenation. After this crucial process takes place within our lungs, oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium on the upper right side and flows into the left ventricle located on the lower right side. From there, it is propelled throughout our body's circulatory system. Additionally visible across the top of this artwork are major blood vessels associated with our hearts' functioning. Furthermore, partial views of some coronary arteries can be observed in this illustration. Overall, Claus Lunau's masterful creation not only presents an accurate representation of human cardiac anatomy but also highlights key components such as veins, arteries, tendons and valves that contribute to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.
