Heart and lung anatomy, artwork C016 / 2911
Heart and lung anatomy. Artwork of an oblique anterior (left-frontal) view of the rib-cage, heart and lungs in a male body. One lung is shown at right. The heart (centre, obscured by sternum) is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body and to the lungs. Air passes into and out of the lungs through the trachea (vertical). In the lungs, the process of gas exchange with the blood adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The diaphragm, the fibrous membrane that aids breathing, is seen across the base of the chest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the heart and lungs in a male body. From an oblique anterior view, we are presented with a detailed illustration of the rib-cage, heart, and lungs. The complexity of our circulatory system is beautifully depicted as one lung takes center stage on the right side. The heart, although partially obscured by the sternum at its center, stands out as a hollow muscle responsible for pumping blood throughout our bodies and to our lungs. Adjacent to it lies the trachea, vertically positioned to facilitate air passage into and out of the lungs. This crucial respiratory process allows for gas exchange with the blood - adding oxygen while removing carbon dioxide. Across the base of this remarkable chest structure lies the diaphragm - a fibrous membrane that aids in breathing. Its presence highlights how seamlessly all these organs work together to sustain life. Presented against a striking blue background, this artwork provides insight into various aspects of human biology such as respiration, circulation, and organ function. It serves as a reminder of both our biological complexity and fragility. With its emphasis on anatomical accuracy and attention to detail, this image offers valuable educational insights into pulmonary health while also showcasing artistic beauty within scientific representation.
