Fetal pig being dissected, showing the thoracic cavity, including the rib cage, the heart in the pericardium, the lungs, the diaphragm, part of the liver, and all the organs under the neck The size of the fetal pig depends on the time allowed for the mother to gestate :
Severe ischemia can cause the heart muscle to die from hypoxia, such as during a myocardial infarction. Chronic moderate ischemia causes contraction of the heart to weaken, known as myocardial hibernation. [citation needed] In addition to metabolism, the coronary circulation possesses unique pharmacologic characteristics.

Video clip from the aortic valve in a living, beating pig heart. When the left ventricle contracts , pressure rises in the left ventricle. When the pressure in the left ventricle rises above the pressure in the aorta, the aortic valve opens, allowing blood to exit the left ventricle into the aorta. When ventricular systole ends, pressure in the ...

Heart valves were first documented by Leonardo da Vinci over 500 years ago. [15] Da Vinci achieved this by doing dissections on cows, pigs, and humans and studying the dissections. Da Vinci also performed vivo studies on pigs, by using small metallic tracers to analyze the movement of blood in the heart. Da Vinci made wax casts of the bull ...
Humans have a four-chambered heart consisting of the right and left atrium, and the right and left ventricle. The atria are the two upper chambers which pump blood to the two lower ventricles. The right atrium and ventricle are often referred to together as the right heart, and the left atrium and ventricle as the left heart.
The moderator band (also known as septomarginal trabecula [1]) is a band of cardiac muscle found in the right ventricle of the heart. [2] [3] [4] It is well-marked in sheep and some other animals, including humans. It extends from the base of the anterior papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve to the ventricular septum. [2]
