Heart: Blood vessels & chambers (1)

Product code: HC3002

Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.

The vascular supply to the heart is rich and extensive and essential for its coordinated and uninterrupted functioning. Knowledge of its position, branching, and territories helps explain the consequence of infarction and informs safe cardiac surgery. This Cast uniquely reveals the origin, position, morphology, and capacity (luminal diameter) of the coronary arteries and their pattern of branching beyond named vessels. The morphology, capacity and positional relationship of the atrial and ventricular cavities are also easily explored.

Polymer injected arteries & veins

Key features include

Arteries supplying and emerging from the heart.
Differential colouration of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within the heart, coronary arteries, great and systemic vessels.
Morphology of the cavities (blood filled spaces) of the atria and ventricles.
Positional relationship of the atria and ventricles.
Left and right auricles of the heart (atrial appendages) and their connection to the ipsilateral atrium.
Origin, course and branching of the right and left coronary arteries, down to small diameter unnamed branches.
Capacity (luminal diameter) of the coronary, great, and systemic vessels.
Differential blood supply to the atria and ventricles.
Great vessels entering and leaving the heart, including the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, pulmonary veins (superior and inferior), ascending aorta, and pulmonary trunk.
Orientation and bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk.
Aorta (ascending, arch and descending) and the branches arising from the aortic arch.
