Human arteries, 19th Century illustration. Historical hand coloured lithographic print showing the arteries (red) and muscle structure (brown) of the human torso. The aorta (red) can be seen running down from the aortic arch (A, upper centre) as the descending aorta (B) and into the abdominal cavity (abdominal aorta, C), at the bottom of which it divides at the aortic bifurcation into the iliac arteries (lower left and right). 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.
