Heart: Ventricles & valves
Product code: HP1303
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The ventricles of the heart work in harmony with the atrioventricular, aortic and pulmonary valves to generate pressure and a unidirectional blood flow within the vascular system. The different structure of the ventricular walls and chambers reflects their different functions. Through windows cut in the ventricular walls, this Silicone Plastinate reveals the internal structure of the ventricles and the orientation and morphology of the atrioventricular valves, aortic valve, and pulmonary valve. The origin, course and territory of the coronary arteries, and the orientation, position, and morphology of the great vessels and some of their branches/tributaries are also revealed.
