Human heart
Human heart. Computer artwork of a healthy human heart, seen in external view. The main blood vessels servicing the heart are visible at the top of the image. At upper left is the vena cava, where blood arrives from the body. Blood is pumped through that side of the heart to the lungs and back to the heart through the pulmonary system of blood vessels (upper right). Oxygenated blood is then pumped to the rest of the body through the main artery, the aorta (arched, upper centre) The heart is supplied with fresh blood through the coronary arteries (purple) seen on the surface of the heart

Aorta Computer Graphic Coronary Artery Vena Cava
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a healthy human heart. Created through computer artwork, it presents an external view of this vital organ, revealing its remarkable complexity. At first glance, one cannot help but be mesmerized by the main blood vessels that service the heart, elegantly visible at the top of the image. Intriguingly positioned at the upper left is the vena cava, where blood arrives from various parts of our body. This side of the heart pumps this deoxygenated blood to our lungs and back through a network of pulmonary blood vessels depicted on the upper right side. The oxygenated blood then embarks on its crucial journey throughout our entire body via the main artery known as the aorta—a majestic arch that dominates the upper center. The surface of this awe-inspiring organ reveals another critical aspect—the coronary arteries portrayed in striking purple hues. These arteries play an essential role in supplying fresh blood to nourish and sustain our hardworking heart. Through this stunning blend of artistry and scientific accuracy, Science Photo Library has captured not only anatomical precision but also an undeniable sense of wonderment towards one of nature's most extraordinary creations—the human heart.
