Anatomy of head
Brain. Computer-coloured illustration of a human head in side view, sectioned to show the brain and its blood vessels. The face is at right; cavities (red) of the nose, mouth and pharynx are seen. Cerebral blood vessels (blue red) branch deep within the brain; cerebral tissue of the brain (white) is visible. The large cerebrum of the brain is responsible for memory, conscious thought and voluntary muscle movement. It is protected within the cranium bones of the skull. Square bones of the neck vertebrae are also depicted. Illustration drawn by the Italian anatomist Paolo Mascagni (1755-1815), author of the famous treatise: Vasorum Lymphaticorum Corporis Humani

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the human head, with a focus on the brain and its blood vessels. The computer-coloured illustration presents a side view of a human head, cleverly sectioned to reveal the inner workings of this vital organ. At first glance, one is drawn to the face on the right side, but upon closer inspection, we are exposed to an array of fascinating details. The vibrant red cavities representing the nose, mouth, and pharynx immediately catch our attention. Moving deeper into this incredible composition, we encounter a network of blue and red cerebral blood vessels branching within the brain. These delicate structures supply oxygenated blood to nourish and sustain our cognitive functions. The white cerebral tissue becomes visible as we delve further into this mesmerizing artwork. It is here that we discover the power center responsible for memory retention, conscious thought processes, and voluntary muscle movement – the large cerebrum. Protected by sturdy cranium bones in our skull and surrounded by square neck vertebrae bones depicted in this illustration; it becomes evident how intricately connected every part of our body truly is. Created by Paolo Mascagni – an esteemed Italian anatomist from centuries past – this historical masterpiece serves as both artistry and education. Through his meticulous work captured in "Vasorum Lymphaticorum Corporis Humani". Mascagni has immortalized his contribution to understanding human anatomy. Intriguingly detailed yet artistically rendered, this print from Science Photo Library offers
