- Abstract:
- This is a lesson in the anatomy of the exterior of the heart and great vessels. The heart is dissected and the structures named and pointed out. The direction of blood flow is indicated. "Pneumo-Viscera" is the name given by Jacob Sarnoff to his method of demonstrating and studying various organs of the body by inflating them with air. A gloved hand is shown squeezing a rubber ball to pump air into a heart. Shots include: the dissection of a pericardium; the heart being lifted out of the pericardium; the superior vena cava; a heart beating in an open chest; the aorta iliac arteries, and common iliac vein. The vascular system of a 7 year old boy is presented on a light field and the anatomy of the heart and great vessels pointed out. Throughout the film, gloved hands work over the specimens, lifting, cutting, probing, and pointing to tissue.
