Internal heart anatomy, artwork
Internal heart anatomy. Cutaway artwork revealing the four internal heart chambers and the heart valves and tendons (white). The two upper chambers are the atria. The two bottom chambers are the ventricles. This view is from the front. Blood arrives in the right atrium (upper left), is passed to the right ventricle (lower left) and is pumped to the lungs. After oxygenation in the lungs, the blood arrives back in the left atrium (upper right) and passes to the left ventricle (lower right), which pumps it round the body. Across top are the hearts major blood vessels. This artwork also shows a partial view of some of the coronary arteries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Claus Lunau offers a stunning glimpse into the intricate internal anatomy of the human heart. Against a pristine white background, this cutaway illustration reveals the four essential chambers of the heart along with its valves and tendons. The upper chambers, known as atria, are elegantly juxtaposed against the lower ventricles in this frontal view. The image beautifully depicts how blood flows through this vital organ. Beginning in the right atrium at the top left corner, it then passes to the right ventricle before being pumped to the lungs for oxygenation. Once enriched with oxygen, it returns to the left atrium at the top right corner and proceeds to circulate throughout our body via the left ventricle located at its lower right. Alongside these remarkable details, we can also observe some of the coronary arteries that supply crucial nourishment to our heart muscles. This comprehensive artwork provides an invaluable visual aid for understanding both normal cardiac function and potential abnormalities within this complex system. With its emphasis on biology and anatomy, this print is not only visually striking but also serves as an educational tool for students or enthusiasts interested in cardiology or general health sciences. Claus Lunau's meticulous attention to detail truly brings life to this scientific masterpiece capturing both beauty and functionality within our cardiovascular system.
