Anatomy of Digestion Arteries Cup and Saucer

Regular price £40.00

Add to wishlist

A proper intestinal blood supply keeps your digestion going just like a hot cuppa in a nicely designed cup. The striking black and white lines represent the progressively dividing jejunal and ileal arteries from a web of arterial arcades and then into straighter vasa recta making for a beautiful architectural pattern.

Anastomoses of the jejunal and ileal arteries supplying the blood to the small intestine from arterial arcades. Vasa recta are straight arteries coming off the arcades. The patterns of these blood vessels vary along the length of the small intestine. There are fewer arcades and longer vasa recta in the jejunum and more arcades and shorter vasa recta in the ileum.

This arterial cup and saucer set is part of a unique range of fine china illustrating the anatomy and histology of the digestive system.

  • Cup 85mm diameter, 58mm high

  • Cup capacity 220ml
  • Bone china with hand gilded rim and handle on cup and rim on saucer
  • Made by hand in Stoke on Trent, UK
