Computer artwork of a healthy human heart

Human heart. Computer artwork of a healthy human heart, seen in external view. Main blood vessels that service the heart are visible at top, with smaller coronary arteries seen branching across the ventricular surface. As a pump the heart circulates blood around the body. It consists of four chambers: chambers on the left side (at right on image) receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it to the body via the aortic arch artery (top centre). Used blood drained from the body is pumped through the right side of the heart to the lungs, through branched pulmonary arteries (below the aortic arch). Special mechanisms in the heart maintain its cardiac pump-rhythm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate beauty of a healthy human heart. From an external view, we can appreciate the complexity and functionality of this vital organ. The main blood vessels that serve the heart are prominently displayed at the top, while smaller coronary arteries branch across its ventricular surface. As a powerful pump, the heart tirelessly circulates oxygenated blood throughout our bodies. It is composed of four chambers, with those on the left side (visible on the right in this image) receiving oxygen-rich blood from our lungs and propelling it to various parts of our body through the aortic arch artery located at the top center. Simultaneously, deoxygenated blood drained from our body is pumped through the right side of this remarkable organ towards our lungs via branched pulmonary arteries situated below the aortic arch. These essential mechanisms within our heart ensure its rhythmic pumping action remains steady. The precision and intricacy depicted in this computer-generated illustration highlight not only its artistic value but also provide valuable insights into human anatomy for scientific purposes. This print serves as a reminder of both our fragility and resilience as humans, showcasing one of nature's most extraordinary creations –the human heart– which beats relentlessly to sustain life itself.
