Continuing my theme of diagrams of the circulatory (or cardiovascular) system and how they differ while representing the same thing, here is a picture from an old edition of Grant’s Method of Anatomy. (I think it is the 7th edition from 1965.) This book is still in print - although some diagrams have been modernised. I do not know how this diagram is currently being presented but there is sure to be one. A diagram of the course taken by the blood around the body is (that is, has become at some point) obligatory for textbooks.
To access other pages in this series, click ‘
The Circulation’ (or the label of the same name) for the list so far.
As always, observe the similarities and the differences. In short, ‘compare and contrast’ each diagram with the others. You might also like to ask ‘Which diagram best suits my interests or requirements?’ Diagrams must provide sufficient information and not too much.
