Structure of a human heart, artwork
Structure of a human heart. Computer artwork of a heart with the right ventricle (second chamber) removed, showing the inside of the left atrium (first chamber). Oxygenated blood (red) flows from the lungs through the pulmonary vein (red pipe, upper right) into the left atrium of the heart. It is then pumped through the mitral valve (yellow) into the left ventricle (behind). From here it is pumped out through the aorta (red pipe, upper centre) to the body. Deoxygenated blood (blue) returning from the body enters the right atrium (blue area, upper left) through the vena cava (blue pipe, upper left), passes into the right ventricle and is then pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary artery (not seen). The smaller blood vessels supply the heart itself

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate and awe-inspiring structure of the human heart. With the right ventricle removed, we are granted a glimpse into the inner workings of this vital organ. Against a clean white background, this computer-generated illustration showcases the complexity and beauty of our cardiovascular system. The left atrium takes center stage as oxygenated blood, depicted in vibrant red hues, flows from the lungs through the pulmonary vein. Guided by valve strings and passing through the mitral valve, it enters the left ventricle before being pumped out to nourish every part of our body via the majestic aorta. In contrast, deoxygenated blood is represented by calming blue tones. Returning from various parts of our body through veins like vena cava (upper left), it enters the right atrium before making its way to be reoxygenated in our lungs via unseen pulmonary arteries. Every detail has been meticulously crafted in this artwork - from smaller blood vessels supplying nutrients to cardiac muscles that power each beat. This visual masterpiece not only celebrates human anatomy but also serves as an educational tool for those fascinated by biology and cardiology. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance with their portrayal of this remarkable human heart structure.
