Heart-lung system, artwork C013 / 4407
Heart-lung system, computer artwork. The heart (centre left) is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Arteries, which carry oxygenated blood around the body, are red. Veins, which carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart and lungs, are blue. The large artery is the aorta, the large vein is the vena cava. The trachea branches into bronchi and then bronchioles (grey), bringing air to and from the lungs to allow gas exchange with the blood in the adjacent blood vessels. Also shown are the bones of the rib-cage, and arms, with the sternum at left, the clavicles (collar bones) across top, and the left arm at lower right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and vital heart-lung system, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. At the center left of the image lies the heart, a remarkable hollow muscle responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. The arteries, depicted in vibrant red hues, carry oxygenated blood to nourish various organs and tissues. In contrast, the blue veins transport deoxygenated blood back to both the heart and lungs for purification. The artwork also highlights other essential components of this complex system. The trachea branches into bronchi and bronchioles (depicted in grey), facilitating air movement between the lungs and external environment for efficient gas exchange with adjacent blood vessels. Notably present are also key elements of our skeletal structure; bones forming the ribcage frame this masterpiece while arms extend towards lower right corner. The sternum is visible at left alongside clavicles or collarbones across top. This stunning illustration provides a comprehensive view of our respiratory and circulatory systems working harmoniously together to maintain optimal health. It serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected our bodily functions truly are. Captivatingly detailed yet artistically rendered, this print from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library offers an educational glimpse into human anatomy that will surely captivate both medical professionals and enthusiasts alike.
