The Structure of the Heart
Knowledge of the structure and function of the heart and other aspects of the vascular system, is an essential part of training in many therapies, such as Massage (in its many forms, "Indian Head Massage", "Swedish Massage", "Accupressure Massage" etc.), Aromatherapy, Accupuncture, Shiatsu, and others. This page is intended to include the detail required for most Basic / First Level Courses in these therapies, and some ITEC Diplomas.
The first diagram (immediately below) is a cut-away section through the heart, showing its physical appearance and labelling its major components and blood vessels. The simpler diagrams below it are line drawings including essential information in a form that is easier to reproduce in exams.
