"Resin cast of human heart blood vessels" was achieved by shooting liquid plastic into a real heart. The plastic resin fills the blood vessels and, once the resin sets, the tissue is dissolved away leaving a perfect replica of the blood supply of the heart.

Wild, and fascinating

  1. Ever see the "Bodies" exhibition? It's a great anatomy lesson, and they have a couple like this heart. A whole cat, IIRC. Currently in Las Vegas and Atlanta.

    1. I've seen the one in Las Vegas, and was going to mention it but you beat me to it.
      A combination of fascinating and macabre.
