Illustration of a ventricular hole in the heart. This hole in the septum between the two ventricles is a heart abnormality developed before birth (congenital)

Neurogenesis, artwork
Neurogenesis. Artwork of an adult brain, revealing neurogenesis (nerve cell synthesis) sites. It was once believed that adult brains could not synthesise new neurons (nerve cells)

Brain. Computer artwork of a section through a healthy brain. The front of the brain is at left. The highly folded area is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought

Contour map of the heart, computer artwork. The contours on this map describe the surface shape of the heart, shown here from the front

Sagittal slice through a healthy human brain
Human brain. Slice through a healthy brain, sectioned sagittally in the midline from front (at left) to back. This longitudinal cut exposes major regions of the brain

Electrical conduction in the heart, artwork. Each heartbeat is initiated by an electrical impulse from the sinoatrial (SA) node (green oval) in the right atrium (upper heart chamber)

Dissected heart, light micrograph
Dissected heart. Light micrograph of a section through a whole heart, showing the chambers and some blood. The heart is a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood around the body

Artwork showing inside view of the right ventricle
Human heart. Illustration of the inside of the right ventricle of the heart. The heart contains four muscular chambers, 2 atria, and 2 ventricles which pump blood around the body

Illustration of a partly-dissected normal heart
Human heart. Illustration of a partly-dissected heart showing the internal structure of its left side, with arteries and veins that service it. As a pump the heart circulates blood around the body

Heart structure
Artwork of the internal structure of the heart. On the left, the right atrium (top cavity) and right ventriculum (bottom) receive deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior

Atrial fibrillation. Artwork of a section through a human heart during atrial fibrillation, a rapid, irregular heartbeat. In the background are ECG (electrocardiogram) traces

Coloured MRI brain scan showing lissencephaly
Lissencephaly. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a brain (purple/pink/yellow/blue) with lissencephaly (smooth brain)

Hydrocephalus CT scan
Hydrocephalus. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial (horizontal) section through the brain of a child with hydrocephalus (water on the brain)

Enlarged heart and kidney scarred by hypertension
Effects of hypertension on heart and kidney. Hypertension (high blood pressure) has caused renal atrophy and scarring, and left ventricular hypertrophy in the sectioned heart (right)

Enlarged heart, X-ray
Enlarged heart. Coloured X-ray showing a patient with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), or enlargement of the left ventricle (lower chamber)

Brain, computer artwork
Brain. Computer artwork of a section through a healthy brain. The front of the brain is at right

Internal heart anatomy, artwork
Internal heart anatomy. Cutaway artwork revealing the four internal heart chambers and the heart valves and tendons (white). The two upper chambers are the atria

Brain lining, SEM
Brain lining. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the lining of the brain, showing the ciliary hairs (green) of ependymal cells

Anatomy of the heart, artwork
Artwork of a healthy human heart showing the main blood vessels (at top) that service it and the internal chambers (atria and ventricles) with cardiac valves (blue)

Heart ventricle, SEM
Heart ventricle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a fracture through a heart to show the interior of the ventricle. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) are seen within the ventricle

Engraving of a dissected heart
18th century dissection of a heart. This engraving purports to show a serpent that was found in the left ventricle of the heart (right hand side)

Ventricles of brain, computer artwork
Three-dimensional representation of the ventricular system of the human brain, computer artwork

Heart anatomy, 19th Century illustration. Historical hand coloured lithographic print showing the blood vessels that supply the human heart

Heart valves, artwork
Heart valves. Cutaway artwork of the inside of the heart, showing the various valves. The first two artworks (left and centre) show the atrioventricular valves between the hearts atria (top)

Heart valves and strings, SEM
Heart valves and strings, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This dissection shows both the mitral valve (centre) and the aortic valve (upper centre)

Dogfish head, transverse section
Dogfish head. Light micrograph of a transverse section through the head of a lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula), in the region of the eyes (upper left and upper right)

The ventricle, a vital component of the human heart, is beautifully depicted in this collection of artwork and medical imagery. In a late 19th-century French wood engraving, we are presented with a cross-section of the heart, showcasing the intricate network of chambers and vessels that make up this remarkable organ. Moving beyond the surface level, an artwork depicting human heart anatomy provides us with a detailed understanding of how blood flows through the ventricles to ensure proper circulation throughout our bodies. Not limited to just cardiac illustrations, we delve into other fascinating aspects of human biology. An artwork showcasing basal ganglia captures our attention as we explore its role in motor control and cognition. A diagram featuring the heart, lungs, and windpipe reminds us that these organs work in harmony to sustain life-giving oxygenation. Shifting gears towards neuroscience, we encounter captivating images revealing brain structures at different scales. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image showcases the intricacies of brain surface patterns while an MRI scan unveils both adult and child brains - emphasizing how these structures evolve over time. Returning to matters of cardiovascular health, another cross-section image highlights not only the ventricle but also emphasizes its importance within a healthy heart. This serves as a reminder that maintaining optimal cardiac function is crucial for overall well-being. This diverse collection offers glimpses into various facets of human anatomy - from intricate engravings capturing historical knowledge about hearts to contemporary imaging techniques providing insights into brain development and cardiovascular health. The ventricle takes center stage throughout this compilation as it plays an essential role in sustaining life's most precious resource: our own beating hearts.
