Heart ventricle anatomy, artwork C016 / 2875
Ventricular diastole. Artwork showing a section through a human heart and its associated blood vessels during ventricular diastole. The heart is composed of four chambers. Two upper chambers, the atria, and two lower chambers, the ventricles. The muscular ventricular walls are shown in red. The left and right side of the heart are separated by the septum. Between each atrium and ventricle, and between the chambers and the major blood vessels, are valves that prevent the backflow of blood. Here, the ventricles are relaxed (ventricular diastole). This is followed by ventricular contraction (systole, see C016/2874)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of a heart ventricle during diastole, beautifully depicted in an artwork titled C016/2875. The human heart is composed of four chambers - two upper atria and two lower ventricles, each playing a vital role in the circulatory system. In this image, the muscular walls of the ventricles are highlighted in striking red against a serene blue background. The septum acts as a partition between the left and right sides of the heart, ensuring efficient blood flow. To prevent backflow, valves are strategically positioned between each atrium and ventricle, as well as between the chambers and major blood vessels. These valves play a crucial role in maintaining healthy circulation. During ventricular diastole, which is captured here, the ventricles are relaxed before their subsequent contraction (systole). This rhythmic cycle ensures proper functioning of our cardiovascular system. This visually stunning artwork not only provides an insight into normal cardiac anatomy but also serves as a reminder of our body's incredible complexity. It represents an amalgamation of biology and artistry while offering valuable educational insights into cardiology and vascular health.
