Heart-lung system, artwork
Heart-lung system, artwork. These chest organs are shown in the relative positions they would occupy within the body. Arteries (red) and veins (blue) circulate blood around the body. The heart (centre) is between the lungs (light brown). Deoxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs, where it is reoxygenated and passed back to the heart. The oxygenated blood is then pumped around the body, into the arms, through the throat to the head, and downwards through the aorta to the lower body. Here, the trachea (windpipe) and voicebox (larynx) are also shown (upper centre)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and vital heart-lung system within the human body. The print beautifully illustrates the relative positions of these chest organs, with arteries depicted in vibrant red and veins in calming blue, symbolizing their crucial role in circulating blood throughout our bodies. At the center of this masterpiece lies the heart, surrounded by a pair of light brown lungs. This dynamic duo works harmoniously to ensure our survival by pumping deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Here, it undergoes a miraculous transformation as it is reoxygenated before being returned back to its origin. The journey continues as oxygen-rich blood is propelled through arteries that branch out like delicate pathways into every nook and cranny of our body. From arms to head, down through the throat and into vital organs via the aorta – this remarkable network ensures that each cell receives life-sustaining nourishment. In addition to showcasing this incredible circulatory system, this artwork also highlights other essential components such as the trachea (windpipe) and voicebox (larynx), reminding us of their integral roles in respiration and communication. With its detailed portrayal of internal anatomy, this print serves as a visual testament to both our complexity and fragility as humans. It invites contemplation on how interconnectedness defines us while emphasizing just how extraordinary our cardiovascular system truly is.
