Phrenic nerves and diaphragm, artwork
Phrenic nerves and diaphragm, computer artwork. The left and right phrenic nerves run from the top of the neck to the thoracic diaphragm. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle that stretches across the bottom of the ribcage separating the thoracic (chest) cavity from the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm contracts and relaxes during inhalation and exhalation. This is an involuntary movement that is transmitted from the brain through the phrenic nerves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Phrenic nerves and diaphragm" showcases the intricate connection between our nervous system and respiratory function. The print depicts the left and right phrenic nerves, originating from the top of the neck and extending down to the thoracic diaphragm. This vital muscle acts as a barrier between our chest and abdominal cavities. The diaphragm's significance lies in its ability to contract and relax during inhalation and exhalation, facilitating our breathing process. These movements are involuntary, controlled by signals transmitted from the brain through the phrenic nerves. In this stunning computer-generated illustration, we witness a detailed representation of various anatomical elements such as bones, muscles, and nerves. The frontal view allows us to appreciate how these components harmoniously interact within our musculoskeletal system. As we explore this artwork further, it becomes evident that it serves not only as an aesthetic masterpiece but also as an educational tool for understanding human biology. It sheds light on how each part contributes to maintaining a healthy functioning body. Science Photo Library has once again captured both beauty and knowledge in their portrayal of this mesmerizing piece of artistry.
