Heart diagram

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 30 May 2010 at 04:00:50 (UTC)

Original - Structure diagram of the human heart. Blue components indicate de-oxygenated blood pathways and red components indicate oxygenated blood pathways.
Reason
I came across this .svg by Zoofari a while ago. I think it has great EV in the two heart articles, and it could conceivably be used in quite a few more articles. It's a good image: a very clear depiction of the parts of the heart. It's accurate as well, with references on the image page.

  • Neutral at the moment. I like it, but my main complaint would be that the wall of the left ventricle is no thicker than the wall of the right ventricle; in a real heart it is significantly thicker. We then get the appearance of the left ventricle being a lot smaller than the right, which could be to do with the perspective here, but is typically at least partly due to the thick muscle wall; without the thick wall it looks a bit odd (I realise some of the references, especially the second one, show this same thing, but to me they share these same issues). I'd also look at the text alignment - on the righthand side it is quite strongly left-aligned, but on the left it's all over the place, but looks like it wants to be right-aligned. Text aligning with the pointer-lines is a bit lose too. Also mitral/bicuspid valve; eh, spose I can live with that. --jjron (talk) 16:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'll see if ZooFari will change text alignment, but it sounds like the ventricle wall might be a deal-breaker. Good to see you again, btw. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed the text and tweaked the muscles a bit. Thanks for the nomination, Makeemlighter. --ZooFari 18:05, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is more of a minor thing, but I think "Brachiocephalic trunk" should be switched to "Brachiocephalic artery." My anatomy book uses "Brachiocephalic artery", as well as on Wikipedia, "

 Done. --ZooFari 00:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I'm not an expert in anatomy, but assuming that the issues raised above have been addressed satisfactorily, I will support this. Should someone more qualified than me point out new errors, I'll likely change to neutral or oppose. Cowtowner (talk) 22:15, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm no anatomist, but the divide between the pulmonary arteries and the aorta looks a little... odd. J Milburn (talk) 10:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
