Arm muscles, artwork
Arm muscles, computer artwork. The uppermost muscle, wrapping around the shoulder, is the deltoid (dark green). Below it are the triceps. In the forearm at right and centre are the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, extensor digitorum, and extensor carpi ulnaris muscles. All these muscles act to extend (straighten) the upper and lower arm, hand and fingers around the elbow, wrist and knuckle joints. In the forearm at left is the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (pink), which causes the opposite action (flexion) to bend the joints. At left is the brachial plexus, the network of nerves (yellow) that originate in the neck, pass through the shoulder and innervate the arm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of arm muscles, meticulously depicted through computer artwork. The focal point of this image is the deltoid muscle, elegantly wrapping around the shoulder in a dark green hue. Just below it, we can observe the triceps muscles contributing to the overall strength and stability of the upper arm. Moving towards the forearm, our attention is drawn to an array of muscles such as extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, extensor digitorum, and extensor carpi ulnaris. These remarkable muscles work harmoniously to extend and straighten both the upper and lower arm, hand, and fingers around various joints like elbows, wrists, and knuckles. On the left side of this artistic representation lies another significant muscle called flexor carpi ulnaris (pink), responsible for bending these joints in a contrasting motion known as flexion. Adjacent to it is an illustration depicting brachial plexus - a network of yellow nerves originating from the neck that traverse through shoulders before innervating every part of our arm. This mesmerizing print not only highlights anatomical details but also emphasizes how interconnected our musculoskeletal system is with our nervous system. It serves as a testament to human biology's complexity while celebrating its normalcy and healthiness. With bones forming a sturdy foundation for these magnificent muscles' actions, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at nature's design within their own bodies.
