Biomedical Ephemera, or: A Frog for Your Boils

@biomedicalephemera / biomedicalephemera.tumblr.com

A blog for all biological and medical ephemera, from the age of Abraham through the era of medical quackery and cure-all nostrums. Featuring illustrations, history, and totally useless trivia from the diverse realms of nature and medicine. Buy me a coffee so I can stay up and keep the lights on around here!

Cor triplici praeditum ventriculo 

This developmental defect of the heart looks like it could be a dissected ventricular septal defect, where there's a hole in the septum, causing mixing between the left and right ventricles of the heart. I don't know of any defect that results in the loss of formation of the atria, but who knows? The Law of Large Numbers means that you're gonna have some pretty funky hearts forming out there...
