Illustration showing the heart in cross-section

Heart. Illustration of a section through a whole human heart, showing the internal organization of chambers, valves, connecting arteries and veins. The heart may be regarded as being two pumps: the right side (left on image) serving the lungs and the left side pushing blood around the general circulation. Oxygenated blood entering the heart from the lungs passes through the left atrium into the left ventricle (bottom right) before being distributed via the aorta (top, yellow). Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium through the vena cavae (top left) prior to being pumped to the lungs from the right ventricle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library beautifully captures the intricate details of a cross-section of the human heart. The illustration provides an in-depth look at the internal organization of chambers, valves, connecting arteries, and veins that make up this vital organ. The heart is often referred to as two pumps working together harmoniously. In this image, we can clearly see how the right side (left on the image) serves the lungs while the left side propels blood throughout our entire body's circulation. As oxygenated blood enters from the lungs, it passes through the left atrium before reaching its destination in the left ventricle. From there, it is distributed via a prominent yellow vessel known as the aorta located at the top of this remarkable artwork. On contrast, deoxygenated blood enters through vena cavae into the right atrium before being pumped to reach its purification process in our lungs by passing through another chamber called right ventricle. This art piece not only showcases a healthy representation of our anatomy but also highlights how crucial each component within our hearts truly is for maintaining overall well-being. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an exceptional visual resource that allows us to appreciate and understand one of nature's most fascinating creations –the human heart– in all its complexity and beauty.
