False-colour image of the human heart,based on an 18th century engraving. The bulk of the heart tissue comprises the left & right ventricles or chambers. The right ventricle (bottom left) pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery,a branch of which is seen at top right. Oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins & left atrium,the smaller upper chamber on the right,before entering the heavily- muscled wall of the left ventricle (bottom right) from where it is pumped into the aorta (seen at top with 3 branches) & around the body | |
