medical illustration of The circulatory system. Arterial and venous systems are shown (and major blood vessels: aorta, super vena cava, inferior vena cava, subclavian, carotid, jugular, etc.) Skeletal system, the bony scaffold of the body. Nervous systems - Central NS consists of the brain and spinal cord, shown in pink. Peripheral NS are the nerves that branch off the brain and spinal cord and innervate the rest of the body. These illustrations were created for a field guide on wilderness medicine.

Since therapy options vary based on the disease stage of the patient, proper diagnosis is vital for effective treatment. Late stage lymphedema of the upper limb is shown, with an unaffected arm presented for rapid comparison.
