Computer artwork of a healthy human skeleton

Skeleton. Computer illustration based on an X-ray of a healthy human skeleton. Bones of the skeleton provide protection and support, and their joints allow locomotion. The skull (at top) protects the brain. The ribs of the chest (at upper centre) enclose the heart and lungs. The pelvis (at centre) protects the lower abdominal organs. The spine, running from the skull to the pelvis, surrounds the spinal column. Long bones provide support and make up the arms and legs. The humerus (upper-arm bone), from the shoulder, articulates with the radius and ulna at the elbow. Similarly, the femur (thigh-bone), from the pelvis, articulates with the fibula and tibia at the knee

Bones Pelvis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate details of a healthy human skeleton. Based on an X-ray image, this illustration highlights the essential role bones play in protecting and supporting our bodies. From top to bottom, each bone serves a specific purpose in maintaining our overall well-being. At the pinnacle of this skeletal masterpiece lies the skull, safeguarding our precious brain. Moving down, we encounter the ribs elegantly enclosing and shielding both heart and lungs at the upper center. The pelvis takes center stage as it dutifully protects vital lower abdominal organs. The spine gracefully curves from skull to pelvis, serving as a protective shield for our delicate spinal column. Meanwhile, long bones form a sturdy framework for our arms and legs, ensuring stability and mobility. Intriguingly named humerus connects shoulder to elbow while articulating with radius and ulna bones. Similarly, femur - known as thigh-bone - emerges from the pelvis only to articulate harmoniously with fibula and tibia at the knee joint. This mesmerizing artwork not only celebrates human anatomy but also reminds us of its complexity and beauty. It is through these interconnected structures that we are able to navigate through life's journey with grace and resilience. Photographed by Science Photo Library, this print captures both scientific precision and artistic finesse without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company.
