Human spine, artwork
Human spine. Artwork of a healthy human spine. The spine is a column of 33 cylindrical bones, called vertebrae, that support the trunk and head and protect the spinal cord. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs (orange) that allow a degree of flexibility and cushion the vertebrae during movement. Each vertebra has bony projections which provide attachment sites for the muscles and ligaments that hold the spine together

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty and complexity of the human spine. Against a striking black background, this illustration highlights a healthy vertebral column consisting of 33 cylindrical bones known as vertebrae. The spine serves as a crucial support system for our trunk and head while safeguarding the delicate spinal cord within. What makes this image truly fascinating are the intervertebral discs, depicted in vibrant orange hues, nestled between each vertebra. These remarkable discs not only provide flexibility to our movements but also act as cushions, protecting the vertebrae during various activities. Every individual vertebra boasts bony projections that serve as attachment sites for muscles and ligaments responsible for holding our spine together. This harmonious collaboration ensures stability and mobility simultaneously. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this anatomically accurate representation of the human spine. From its side view perspective to cut-outs revealing internal structures like sacrum and coccyx, this artwork offers an insightful glimpse into one of nature's marvels - our own skeletal framework. With its fusion of artistry and biology, this print from Science Photo Library captures both scientific precision and aesthetic appeal. It invites us to appreciate not only the functionality but also the sheer elegance inherent in every aspect of our anatomy.
