Heart and glowing light, computer artwork

Heart and glowing light, computer artwork. The heart (red) is a hollow sac of muscular tissue that pumps blood around the body. The aorta (large artery, upper left of heart) carries blood to the body. Three smaller arteries are seen branching off it. To the left of the aorta is part of the vena cava vein (the upper section). This vein carries deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body. This blood then travels from the heart to the lungs (where it obtains oxygen) and back to the heart through the pulmonary blood vessels (upper right of heart). The oxygenated blood is then pumped into the aorta and around the body

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human heart, depicted as a glowing masterpiece of computer artwork. The vibrant red heart, a hollow sac composed of muscular tissue, serves as the vital pump that tirelessly propels life-sustaining blood throughout our bodies. Positioned in the upper left corner is the mighty aorta, an expansive artery responsible for distributing oxygenated blood to every nook and cranny within us. From this central vessel emerge three smaller arteries, branching out like delicate tree limbs. Adjacent to the aorta lies part of the vena cava vein, gracefully carrying deoxygenated blood back into our heart from various regions of our body. This crimson river then embarks on its transformative journey to obtain oxygen by traveling through pulmonary blood vessels located on the upper right side of this mesmerizing organ. Once rejuvenated with precious oxygen in our lungs, this revitalized blood surges back into action and surges into the aorta once more before coursing through countless arteries across our entire being. This awe-inspiring image encapsulates not only the complexity but also highlights how seamlessly orchestrated our circulatory system truly is. Through this remarkable visual representation created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we gain insight into one of nature's most extraordinary creations - an organ that symbolizes vitality and sustains life itself.
