Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Jigsaw Puzzle: The Human Thorax

In the second volume of Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Jigsaw Puzzles, you will

assemble a cross-cut section of the human body that gives you a clear view of

the entire rib cage and its contents. You’ll see how they interlock and overlap

with marvelous intricacy. As you assemble this puzzle you’ll frame the organs

with crosscuts of the the sternum, ribs, and thoracic vertebrae. Inside that

protective cage lie a wealth of vital and vulnerable organs; the trachea

carries air to the two lungs, and sitting between them, the four-chambered

heart pumps blood through the pulmonary circulatory loop of the lungs. From

there, once the blood is rich with fresh oxygen, it begins its journey through

the systemic circulatory system to carry that oxygen to the rest of the body.
