Upper body bones
Upper body bones, computer artwork. The skull (top) consists of the cranium, which encloses the brain and the jaw (mandible). The spine, which consists of blocks of bone (vertebrae) separated by spongy intervertebral discs, runs down centre. The ribcage (bottom) 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 showcases the intricate beauty of the upper body bones in stunning computer artwork. At the top, we are introduced to the skull, consisting of the cranium that protects and encloses our remarkable brain, along with the jaw or mandible. As we move down towards the center, our attention is drawn to the spine - a series of vertebrae separated by spongy intervertebral discs. The backbone serves as a strong pillar supporting our entire skeletal structure. Beneath it lies an elegant ribcage composed of twelve pairs of curved bones that attach to both sides of the spine at its back and connect to the sternum at its front. Positioned above this magnificent framework are two collarbones known as clavicles while behind it lie shoulder blades called scapulas. These elements seamlessly articulate with another set of bones -the upper arm bones or humerus- forming our shoulders. The image not only highlights these essential components but also emphasizes their vital role in maintaining a healthy human anatomy. It provides an insightful glimpse into biology and anatomy, reminding us how intricately designed our bodies are from head to toe. This awe-inspiring illustration from Science Photo Library captures both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance, making it a perfect addition for those fascinated by skeletal structures and biological wonders alike.
