Heart and blood vessels, artwork
Heart and blood vessels, artwork. The heart (centre) is a muscular organ that pumps blood around the body through the arteries and veins. Deoxygenated blood (blue) is pumped from the heart to the lungs (not shown) through the pulmonary blood vessels (either side of heart), where the blood is reoxygenated and passed back to the heart. The oxygenated blood (red) is then pumped around the body, into the arms (off to right and left), through the throat to the head (off top), and downwards through the aorta to the lower body (off bottom)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of the human heart and blood vessels. At the center of this masterpiece lies the heart, a powerful muscular organ that tirelessly pumps life-sustaining blood throughout our bodies. Through a network of arteries and veins, this vital fluid is transported to every corner, ensuring our organs receive the oxygen they need to function optimally. In this stunning portrayal, we witness two distinct types of blood flow represented by different colors. The deoxygenated blood, depicted in shades of blue, embarks on its journey from the heart towards the lungs through pulmonary blood vessels located on either side. Here it undergoes a miraculous transformation as it absorbs fresh oxygen before returning back to its origin. The vibrant red hues symbolize oxygenated blood coursing through our bodies after being propelled by the heart's rhythmic contractions. It branches out into various pathways - reaching outwards into our arms and hands, ascending upwards towards our head through delicate throat passages, and descending downwards via the mighty aorta to nourish our lower body. Through this mesmerizing illustration created by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into one of nature's most remarkable systems: circulation. This artwork not only celebrates human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how crucial it is for us to maintain good cardiovascular health for overall well-being.
