heart & aorta

Heart and the aorta

Ori­gi­nally uploa­ded by Stan­ford Medi­cine.

The left chest wall has been remo­ved to dis­play the heart and the aorta and its bran­ches, as well as the inter­cos­tal ner­ves and ves­sels bet­ween the ribs. The phre­nic nerve, which ope­ra­tes the visi­ble dia­phragm, is pro­min­ently shown, as is the auto­no­mic nerve chain and nodu­lar ganglia over the intercostals.

Ist das nicht wunderschön?

Gefun­den via Boing­Bo­ing: Stan­ford zeigt die berühmte Bassett-Sammlung her!
