Artwork of the human venous system (from Vesalius)
Venous system. Computer-enhanced illustration of the venous circulatory system in the human body, shown in a standing figure. The region of the heart is highlighted in yellow. Veins carry deoxygenated and used blood back to the heart from the rest of the body. Unlike arteries, veins rely on valves and muscular body movements to push the blood along, as the pumping effect of the heart is dissipated by the time blood reaches the veins. The average adult has about five litres of blood. At rest this volume of blood passes through the heart and around the body each minute. Original illustration by Andreas Vesalius from his book: " De Humani Corporis Fabrica" (1543)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of the human venous system, as depicted by Andreas Vesalius in his renowned book "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" from 1543. The computer-enhanced illustration presents a standing figure, with the region of the heart highlighted in vibrant yellow. The image vividly portrays the venous circulatory system within our bodies, responsible for carrying deoxygenated and used blood back to the heart from all corners of our being. Unlike arteries that benefit from the pumping effect of the heart, veins rely on valves and muscular body movements to push blood along their path. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece of art, it becomes apparent that every vein plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health. The network of veins intricately weaves throughout our body, ensuring that approximately five liters of blood continuously pass through our hearts each minute when at rest. Through this visual masterpiece, one can truly appreciate how vital circulation is to sustaining life. It serves as a reminder that even though these veins may often go unnoticed beneath our skin's surface, they are an essential part of what keeps us alive and thriving. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in this extraordinary print. It serves as a testament to Vesalius' groundbreaking work while reminding us of the wonders hidden within our own bodies.
