Chest muscles, artwork C013 / 4566

Chest muscles. Computer artwork of an oblique posterior view from above of some of the muscles (red) of the chest, showing their attachment to the bones of the ribcage and back. These are the serratus anterior muscles, which attach to the first eight to nine ribs and the medial border of the scapula (shoulder blade). They act to pull the scapula forwards during an action such as swinging an arm forward. The scapula is shown in semi-transparent view to show the location of the muscles underneath it. Also shown here are the bones of the ribcage and spine. The clavicles (collar bones) across the top of the torso are not shown in this view

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of chest muscles in a computer artwork titled "Chest Muscles, Artwork C013/4566". From an oblique posterior view, the image reveals a network of red muscles attached to the bones of the ribcage and back. These specific muscles are known as serratus anterior, which connect to the first eight to nine ribs and the medial border of the scapula or shoulder blade. The purpose of these muscles becomes evident as they act to pull the scapula forward during actions such as swinging an arm forward. To provide a comprehensive understanding, this artwork also includes semi-transparent views that unveil both the location of these muscles beneath the scapula and other anatomical structures like bones from both ribcage and spine. Although not depicted in this particular view, it is important to note that clavicles or collarbones lie across the top part of our torso. This visually stunning illustration delves into various aspects related to biology, anatomy, musculature, and healthy living. Authored by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library, this print offers valuable insights into our musculoskeletal system while shedding light on essential components like thoracic cavity, costal cartilage, vertebral column (backbone), and more. It serves as a remarkable resource for educational purposes without any commercial use intentions.
