As evidenced by the jugular vein on the neck of David. “Michelangelo, like some of his contemporaries, received anatomical training. He most likely noticed the expansion of this vein in young and healthy people who are in an emotionally stressed state,” Gelfman said.At the same time, Michelangelo's anatomical awareness is confirmed by his other sculptures.“I am amazed at this ability to recognize this and show it in my work. While in the physiology of the cardiovascular system there was very limited information regarding this,” the scientist added.
