Artwork showing inside view of the right ventricle

Human heart. Illustration of the inside of the right ventricle of the heart. The heart contains four muscular chambers, 2 atria, and 2 ventricles which pump blood around the body. During a heart- beat blood flows into the ventricles from the atria. The ventricles contract forcing blood into the arteries because of the closure of valves bet- ween the atria & the ventricles. The white fibrous regions seen here are the chordae tendineae which attach the papillary muscles (centre) to the tricuspid valve above. They maintain closure of the tricuspid valve, allowing the right ventricle to pump blood into the pulmonary artery to the lungs, rather than back into the right atrium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate inner workings of the human heart. With meticulous detail, it unveils the inside view of the right ventricle, one of four muscular chambers that tirelessly pump life-sustaining blood throughout our bodies. Within this vibrant illustration, we witness the rhythmic dance between two atria and two ventricles as they orchestrate the circulation process. During each heartbeat, blood gracefully flows from the atria into the ventricles. The momentous contraction of these ventricles propels oxygen-rich blood forcefully through arteries due to valves sealing shut between them and their corresponding atria. Notably visible in this masterpiece are ethereal white fibrous regions known as chordae tendineae. These delicate structures serve a crucial role by attaching papillary muscles at their center to the tricuspid valve above. By maintaining closure of this valve, they enable proper functioning of the right ventricle—ensuring that blood is propelled forward into pulmonary arteries leading to our lungs rather than regurgitating back into its originating chamber. As an artful portrayal blending scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal, this print encapsulates both beauty and complexity within our own anatomy. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing fascination with understanding and appreciating every facet of our remarkable bodies—a true celebration of life itself.
