Description

This external view of the human heart highlights its overall structure and surface anatomy. The image captures the heart's prominent vessels, including the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and veins, as well as the superior vena cava. The heart’s muscular texture, with detailed grooves indicating coronary arteries, illustrates the pathways that supply oxygenated blood to the heart tissue itself. This visualization is beneficial for understanding the heart's external landmarks and is crucial for surgical orientation and diagnostic imaging.
