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) | |
