Heart, illustration C018 / 0797
Heart, artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is returned to the hearts right atrium (chamber). The blood flows into the right ventricle (chamber), which contracts to push the blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. From the lungs, newly oxygenated blood enters the left atrium and flows to the left ventricle. The left ventricle contracts to push the blood to the aorta (arched, top) and around the body. Valves between the chambers prevent the backflow of blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heart, illustration C018 / 0797" showcases the intricate beauty and functionality of the human heart. Against a striking red background, this artwork depicts the heart as a hollow muscle responsible for pumping blood throughout our bodies. The image provides a detailed insight into the circulatory system, illustrating how deoxygenated blood returns to the heart's right atrium before flowing into the right ventricle. The contraction of this chamber propels the blood through the pulmonary artery to reach our lungs where it becomes oxygenated. From there, newly enriched blood enters the left atrium and continues its journey to nourish our body's organs and tissues. Highlighted in this illustration are also valves that play a crucial role in preventing any backflow of blood between chambers. These valves ensure an efficient circulation process within our cardiovascular system. Created by Claudia Stocker from Science Photo Library, this artwork not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also educates viewers about one of our most vital organs. With its emphasis on biology, anatomy, and cardiology, this print is perfect for anyone interested in understanding how their own hearts keep them healthy and alive.
