Ribcage and upper body, computer artwork
Ribcage and upper body, computer artwork. The spine, which consists of blocks of bone (vertebrae) separated by spongy intervertebral discs, runs down centre. The ribcage (centre) is made up of twelve pairs of curved bones that attach to the spine at the back and the sternum at the front. In front of the ribcage at top are the collar bones (clavicles). Behind the ribcage at top are the shoulder blades (scapulas). The clavicles and scapulas articulate with the upper arm bones (humerus) to form the shoulders

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ribcage" showcases the intricate beauty of the human skeletal system. Created through computer artwork, it provides a detailed illustration of the upper body's anatomy. At its core lies the spine, composed of vertebrae and intervertebral discs that run down the center with remarkable precision. The focal point is undoubtedly the ribcage, consisting of twelve gracefully curved bones that attach to both the spine at the back and sternum at the front. This vital structure protects our delicate internal organs while providing support for our entire torso. Positioned above this bony enclosure are collarbones or clavicles, which elegantly frame and connect to our shoulders. Speaking of shoulders, behind the ribcage we find shoulder blades or scapulas, completing this symphony of interconnected bones. These scapulas harmoniously articulate with upper arm bones known as humerus to form our resilient shoulders. Through this mesmerizing artwork, Science Photo Library offers us an opportunity to marvel at nature's design - a testament to both strength and grace within our own bodies. It invites contemplation on how each bone plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy physical framework. With its impeccable attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this image serves as an invaluable resource for those fascinated by biology or studying human anatomy.
