Head anatomy, artwork

Head anatomy. Artwork showing various aspects of human anatomy in a female head seen from the side. The bones (white) include the lower jaw bone, the bones of the palate, the cheek bones, and the bones of the upper nose and forehead. The spaces in the facial bones are the paranasal sinuses. The olfactory nerves are shown passing through the bone above the large nasal cavity. The rear part of this cavity is the nasopharynx, the upper part of the pharynx. The nasal membranes are also shown, as are parts of the brain. In the mouth are the two rows of teeth and the tongue (pink)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Head Anatomy" offers a detailed glimpse into the intricate structures of the human head. From a side view, we observe a female profile against a white background, allowing us to focus solely on the fascinating elements within. The artist skillfully portrays various aspects of anatomy, including bones, nerves, and organs. The skeletal framework is highlighted in white hues and encompasses essential components such as the lower jaw bone, cheekbones, palate bones, and those forming the upper nose and forehead. Notably visible are the paranasal sinuses - hollow spaces within facial bones - which add depth to this composition. Delving deeper into this artistic representation reveals more intricate details. The olfactory nerves gracefully traverse through bone above an expansive nasal cavity while showcasing neural connections related to our sense of smell. Additionally, one can discern glimpses of brain matter alongside nasal membranes that play crucial roles in respiration. Within the mouth lies another layer of complexity: two rows of teeth stand prominently alongside a pink-toned tongue—an embodiment of oral health and functionality. Overall, Claus Lunau's masterful illustration captures not only anatomical accuracy but also showcases his profound understanding of human biology. This print serves as both an educational tool for students studying medicine or biology and an aesthetically pleasing piece for anyone fascinated by our remarkable physiological makeup.
