Shoulder muscles, artwork C013 / 4506

Shoulder muscles. Computer artwork of an oblique anterior view of two of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and their attachments to the bones of the chest, back and upper arms. The deltoid muscle wraps around the shoulder, running from the clavicle (collar bone) and the acromion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus (upper arm bone). The large pectoralis major muscle runs from the clavicle and sternum (breastbone) to the intertubercular groove on the humerus. The left-hand side of this view includes joint ligaments (white). The muscles at left are semi-transparent to show underlying bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of shoulder muscles, offering a glimpse into the remarkable complexity of our musculoskeletal system. In this computer artwork, an oblique anterior view reveals two prominent muscles in vibrant red hues, accentuating their attachments to various bones within the chest, back, and upper arms. The deltoid muscle steals attention as it gracefully wraps around the shoulder joint, originating from both the clavicle (collar bone) and acromion of the scapula (shoulder blade). Its journey culminates at the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus (upper arm bone), highlighting its crucial role in facilitating arm movement. Adjacent to it lies another significant muscle – pectoralis major. This robust structure extends from both the clavicle and sternum (breastbone) before firmly attaching itself to the intertubercular groove on the humerus. Together with other supporting ligaments depicted in white, these muscles form a harmonious symphony that enables fluid motion while providing stability to our shoulders. Notably, transparency is employed on one side of this illustration to reveal underlying bones beneath semi-transparent muscles. This artistic technique allows us to appreciate how these vital structures intertwine seamlessly within our bodies. With its blend of scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal, this artwork serves as a visual testament to human anatomy's marvels. It invites contemplation about our own physicality while reminding us of nature's exquisite design.
