Greetings Card : Abdominal aorta
Cards from Science Photo Library
Abdominal aorta
Abdominal aorta, historical anatomical artwork. The abdominal cavity of this torso has been dissected to give an anterior (front) view of the aorta (orange, inverted Y- shape), the largest artery in the human body. The aorta originates from the left ventricle of the heart (not seen), descends through the thorax and diaphragm (top), and into the abdomen. Here it branches into two common iliac arteries, providing blood to the pelvis and limbs. The spinal column (white, centre) can also be seen. This illustration is taken from the 19th century French textbook The Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery by J. M. Bourgery and N. H. Jacob

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical anatomical artwork of the abdominal aorta, providing us with an intriguing glimpse into the inner workings of the human body. The image presents an anterior view of the dissected abdominal cavity, revealing the magnificent orange-colored aorta in its inverted Y-shape. As we delve deeper into this 19th-century French illustration from "The Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery" by J. M. Bourgery and N. H. Jacob, we discover that the aorta is indeed an awe-inspiring entity. Originating from the left ventricle of the heart (not visible), it descends through both thorax and diaphragm before reaching its destination in the abdomen. Intricately branching out into two common iliac arteries, this largest artery in our bodies ensures vital blood supply to our pelvis and limbs. Amidst this remarkable display lies another noteworthy feature -the spinal column- standing tall as a white centerpiece amidst vibrant hues. With surgical precision captured within every detail, this imagery offers us invaluable insights into biological structures that have shaped our understanding of anatomy throughout history. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic representation. Through this mesmerizing piece, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate not only the complexity but also the beauty inherent in our own musculature and arterial systems. A true treasure for enthusiasts delving into medical history or simply those captivated by intricate art forms intertwined with science's wonders.
