Description
The scaffolding of the heart is a cross with the horizontal limb separating the upper atria with lower ventricles. The vertical limb separates the right and left sided chambers. The heart lies on its right side so the cross is similarly tilted. This art piece shows a young woman with her outstretched arms defining the horizontal limb separating the upper atria from the ventricles, while her chest and legs lie along the vertical axis, separating the right sided structures from the left. The art piece shows the structure of the right ventricle with tricuspid valve and the left ventricle with its papillary muscles and mitral valve.
