Another CIrculation Figure

 

Another figure depicting the human circulatory system. (Another in what I ought to call the 'same but different' series.) This is from McNaught and Callander's Illustrated Physiology. The more recent editions had different editors and I think that the book is now sadly out of print. This is a great pity. It was one of my favourite books especially for the illustrations - which I used to use as lecture slides.
There were other 'Illustrated's consisting primarily of pages of such figures. It was published originally, I believe, by Churchill Livingstone. One I used to use was Pathology Illustrated. Another (which I did not use) was Gynaecology Illustrated. These also appear to be out of print. I cannot remember any others, although there was once a pocket sized Illustrated Physiology for Nurses.
