Digital photograph of a human aorta in a clear glass tube. The tube has been set on a gray counter, and a ruler has been placed beside it for size comparison. A handwritten label on the tube can be read in part.
A human aorta, packed into a vacuum sealed glass tube. The specimen was donated by J. Karl Poppe, M.D., in September 1978. A note on the tube reads: "to be reconstituted in warm saline solution to replace portion of resected aorta."
