Muscles, organs and blood vessels. Artwork from Bartolomeo Eustachi's Tabulae anatomicae, published in 1714. This male cadaver has been dissected to reveal the muscles of the arms and legs, veins (blue) and arteries (red), and some of the thoracic and abdominal organs. The heart is at upper centre, the diaphragm (pink) below, the kidneys below this, and the bladder (white) in the lower abdomen. Eustachi was an early Italian anatomist who died in 1574. Although he published a textbook during his lifetime, he died before publishing much of his work. The plates were found over 100 years after his death, and published as the Tabulae with explanations by 18th-century anatomist Giovanni Maria Lancisi.
