Heart and lung anatomy, artwork C016 / 2904
Heart and lung anatomy. Artwork of a posterior (from behind) view of the heart and lungs. The heart (mostly obscured) is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body and to the lungs. One lung is shown here (left) with the other one shown only as bronchioles (airways, red). Heart and lung blood vessels (pink) are also shown. Air passes into and out of the lungs through the trachea (upper centre), with the pharynx and nasal passages at top. In the lungs, the process of gas exchange with the blood adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the heart and lungs from a posterior perspective. The heart, although mostly concealed, is depicted as a hollow muscle responsible for pumping blood throughout the body and to the lungs. One lung is prominently displayed on the left side, while bronchioles (airways) represent the other lung in red hues. Delicate pink blood vessels intricately connect these vital organs, emphasizing their interconnectedness within our circulatory system. The image highlights how air enters and exits through the trachea located at the upper center of the frame. The pharynx and nasal passages are also visible at the top, illustrating their role in facilitating respiration. Within our lungs, gas exchange occurs with blood vessels adding oxygen and removing carbon dioxide—a crucial process for sustaining life. Set against a vibrant blue background, this artwork provides an insightful glimpse into human biology. It offers valuable insights into respiratory functions such as breathing and oxygenation while showcasing various anatomical structures like bronchi, thorax, nasal cavity, and more. With its detailed portrayal of both cardiovascular and pulmonary systems combined with impeccable precision in cutouts against a striking backdrop—this print serves as an educational tool for students studying medicine or anyone fascinated by human anatomy's complexity.
