Heart anatomy, 19th Century illustration. Historical hand coloured lithographic print showing the anatomy of the human heart and the coronary arteries
Heart anatomy, 19th Century illustration. Historical hand coloured lithographic print showing the anatomy of the human heart and the coronary arteries (thin red) that supply it. The heart is composed of four chambers. Two upper chambers, the atria (upper centre), and two lower chambers, the ventricles (lower centre). The Aorta (red tube, upper right) carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body. Image from 'Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme, comprenant la medecine operatoire' Vol. 4 (1836), by Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery and illustrated by Nicolas-Henri Jacob.
