EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulously detailed plastic model of internal human organs, offering an intriguing glimpse into the complexity and beauty of our anatomy. In this ventral view of the human torso, we are presented with a comprehensive depiction of various vital organs. Starting from the bottom, we observe the large intestines or colon enclosing the small intestines, highlighting their intricate arrangement within our digestive system. Just above lies the stomach, its structure revealed as the liver has been removed for clarity. Moving upwards into the chest cavity, we encounter a cross-sectioned view of both lungs alongside the majestic heart - symbolizing life itself. The neck region unveils additional anatomical wonders: prominently displayed is the internal jugular vein responsible for draining blood from our brain; adjacent to it is the carotid artery supplying oxygenated blood to this crucial organ. Lastly, we can discern another essential component -the windpipe or trachea- in its distinctive white coloration. This photograph not only serves as an educational tool but also evokes awe and appreciation for our body's intricate design. It reminds us that beneath our skin lies a complex network of organs working harmoniously to sustain life. Science Photo Library once again delivers an exceptional visual representation that sparks curiosity and deepens our understanding of human physiology.
