Acrylic Blox : Human skull, X-ray
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Human skull, X-ray
Human skull. Coloured X-ray of a sagittal section through a human skull. The skull has been sliced in half down the centre, revealing details of the internal structures. These include the delicate bones and spaces of the paranasal sinuses (around the nose and eyes, centre left). The fused bones of the cranium encase and protect the brain. The nasal, cheek and upper jaw bones are fused to the cranium to form the facial skeleton (left). The lower jaw bone (mandible, lower left), is attached at flexible joints, allowing it to move. The upper and lower jaw bones contain 32 permanent teeth (lower left). The eye sockets (one at far left) house the eyes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a human skull through a coloured X-ray. The sagittal section reveals the internal structures, providing an extraordinary glimpse into our anatomy. As we explore this image, we can observe the delicate bones and spaces of the paranasal sinuses surrounding the nose and eyes at the center left. The cranium, composed of fused bones, acts as a protective encasement for our brain. Moving towards the left side of this halved skull, we encounter the facial skeleton formed by fusion between nasal, cheek, and upper jaw bones with the cranium. This integration creates a sturdy foundation for our face's structure. On further examination, we notice that flexible joints attach to the lower jaw bone or mandible on its lower left side—allowing us to move it effortlessly. The upper and lower jaws contain 32 permanent teeth—a testament to their vital role in chewing and digestion—displayed prominently on their lower left portion. Additionally, nestled within eye sockets located at far-left lies another fascinating aspect—the housing for our precious eyes. Through this radiograph's lens-like perspective, Science Photo Library has beautifully captured both artistry and science in one frame—an awe-inspiring reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are.
