The Cardiovascular System (Cardiac Illustrations)
The Cardiovascular System portfolio highlights cardiac illustrations, including multiple views of the heart and vasculature.
The cardiovascular system includes the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. It circulates blood throughout the body to supply the organs with oxygen and nutrients.

Cardiac Illustrations: The Anatomy of the Heart
Cardiac Illustrations: Heart anatomy and structure - The heart is made up of four chambers: the right and left atrium and the right and left ventricle. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body. It flows through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, which travels through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle and then leaves the heart through the aortic valve to deliver blood to the rest of the body.

Cardiac Illustrations: Semilunar Valve Function and Stenosis and Regurgitation - The semilunar valves include the aortic and pulmonary valves. They allow blood to flow from the ventricles into the arteries while preventing backflow into the ventricles.
Cardiac Illustrations: Atrioventricular Valve Function, Stenosis, and Regurgitation. Regurgitation (aortic insufficiency) is a disease of the heart valve between the atrium and ventricle. Some of the blood leaks backward because the valve doesn't close properly. Stenosis is when the valve opening becomes narrowed over a period of time from the buildup of calcium.
Cardiac Illustrations: Healthy Heart (Mitral Valve Diastole) vs. Mitral Stenosis (Diastole)—Mitral Stenosis is a disease of the mitral valve in which the mitral valve narrows and reduces blood flow into the left ventricle.
