Heart and brain vascular system, artwork
Heart and brain vascular system. Artwork showing the arteries (pink) and veins (blue) of the torso, arms, neck, head and brain. The brain is at top (red) and the heart at centre. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while veins bring blood back to heart. The arteries (apart from the pulmonary artery) carry oxygenated blood, while the veins (apart from the pulmonary vein) carry deoxygenated blood. Blood vessels here include the aorta, vena cava, subclavian arteries, jugular veins, and carotid arteries. Other structures (not highlighted) are the bones of the skeleton, abdominal organs, and the trachea (windpipe) in the throat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and complex network of blood vessels in the heart and brain. The print beautifully illustrates the arteries, depicted in a vibrant pink hue, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to nourish various parts of the body. In contrast, the veins are highlighted in a serene blue shade, symbolizing their role in returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart for reoxygenation. The detailed illustration spans across different regions of our anatomy, including the torso, arms, neck, head, and most prominently - the brain at its apex. It emphasizes vital structures such as major blood vessels like the aorta and vena cava along with significant arteries like subclavian and carotid arteries. Additionally, it subtly hints at other anatomical features like skeletal bones within our chest cavity or abdominal organs that play an essential role in maintaining overall health. This visually stunning representation not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also educates us about human physiology. It sheds light on how our circulatory system functions seamlessly to supply oxygen-rich blood throughout our body while removing waste products efficiently. Science Photo Library's print is a testament to both biological beauty and scientific accuracy. Its meticulous attention to detail makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding cardiovascular anatomy or exploring neurology concepts related to cerebral circulation within our central nervous system.
