Dissected heart, light micrograph

Dissected heart. Light micrograph of a section through a whole heart, showing the chambers and some blood. The heart is a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood around the body. The blood (red) arrives from the body, and is then pumped between the heart and the lungs, and back to the heart before being pumped around the body again. The heart has four chambers, the two most powerful being the lower chambers, the ventricles, which have the thick walls (purple) seen here. The smaller upper chambers, called atria (not clearly seen), pump blood from one side of the heart to the other. Inside the heart are structures called valves, which regulate blood flow between the chambers. Magnification: x33 when printed 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dissected heart, revealing its intricate chambers and the vital role it plays in our circulatory system. The heart, a hollow muscular organ, is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. In this image, we can observe the red blood flowing into the heart from the body before being pumped to the lungs and back again. The heart's four chambers are clearly visible here, with particular emphasis on the ventricles - the lower chambers known for their powerful contractions. Their thick walls are depicted in a striking purple hue. Although not clearly seen in this micrograph, there are smaller upper chambers called atria that facilitate blood movement within different sides of the heart. Within this remarkable organ lie valves that regulate blood flow between these various chambers. This microscopic view at 33x magnification offers us an insight into how these structures function and contribute to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. With its detailed portrayal of normal anatomy and histology, this print serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike in fields such as cardiology and biology. It highlights both the beauty and complexity of our most essential muscle - a true marvel of nature's design.
