Human skeletal muscles, artwork

Skeletal muscles. Illustration showing the human skeletal muscle system (posterior view). The white regions are tendons which attach the muscles (red) to the bones of the skeleton. Also known as voluntary muscles, these muscles are under direct conscious control. Skeletal muscle accounts for up to 45 per cent of body weight

Body imaging. Composite image of several methods used to visualise the anatomy of the human body. The techniques seen here are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-rays (radiography), dissection and artworks. MRI scanning (like the sideways slice through the head) uses radio waves and a powerful magnet to obtain slice images through the human body. X-rays (like half of the pelvis, blue, and both hands) show body tissues by their differing transmission of X-rays. These techniques are used to diagnose medical disorders. The thigh at left (brown) has been sectioned vertically. The artworks include arm muscles (left) and arm blood vessels (right), as well as the digestive organs
