Mechanics of respiration, diagram
Mechanics of respiration. Cutaway diagrams showing the mechanics of breathing in (left) and breathing out (right). Arrows show: the movement of air in and out of the nose

Biomechanics, historical artwork
Biomechanics. Historical artwork of two humans bearing loads. This illustration is taken from De Motu Animalium (On Animal Motion, 1680) by Alfonso Borelli (1608-1679)

Running skeleton in body, artwork
Running skeleton inside an outline of the body, computer artwork

Gecko foot, SEM
Gecko foot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the underside of a geckos foot (Tarentola mauritanica). The foot is covered with ridges and microscopic hairs

Mechanics of swallowing, diagram
Mechanics of swallowing. Cutaway diagrams showing the process of swallowing. At left the mouthful of food (the bolus, green) is being pushed to the back of the mouth by the tongue

Human backbone, artwork
Human backbone, skull and pelvis. Computer artwork of the spine (the backbone or spinal column), seen from an oblique sideways angle, with the front of the spine at left, the skull at top

Flying fish, 17th century artwork
Flying fish near a ship in stormy waters, coloured 17th century artwork. Flying fish use their front (pectoral) fins as wings

Mechanics of respiration, artwork
Mechanics of respiration. Cutaway artworks showing the mechanics of breathing in (left) and breathing out (right). Arrows show: the movement of air in and out of the nose

Human and ape anatomy. Artwork comparing the anatomy of a human (left) and an ape (right). Both are primates, but as humans

Football kick, skeleton artwork
Football kick. Computer artwork showing a skeleton in the process of kicking a football (not seen). The outline of the body can also be seen

Skeleton and ligaments, artwork
Female skeleton, computer artwork. The human skeleton has 206 bones. The skull (at top) protects the brain. The ribs of the chest (at upper centre) enclose the heart and lungs

Cybernetic arm, composite image. The mans right arm has been replaced by a robotic one. This represents the development of prosthetic limbs that can not only be controlled by the patients nervous

Feather vane, light micrograph
Feather vane. Light micrograph of a part of a vane of a contour feather, from the wing of a bird. Each vane consists of several barbs (black) bearing barbules (thin)
