Large intestine
Colon. Artwork showing the human colon (large intestine). The yellow fibres represent nerves, which control the involuntary muscular movements (peristalsis) of the colon. The colon has no digestive function but absorbs water and electro- lytes from the residue of digestion. It consists of 4 sections: the ascending (left), transverse (top), descending (right, cut away) and sigmoid (bottom). The sigmoid colon joins with the rectum. Three bands of longitudinal muscle, the teniae coli, run the length of the organ, from the appendix (tail-like at bottom left) to the rectum. The teniae help to form haustra, the compartment- like pouches along the length of the colon

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of the human colon, also known as the large intestine. The vibrant yellow fibers depicted in this print represent the nerves that play a crucial role in controlling the involuntary muscular movements of the colon, known as peristalsis. While it does not participate in digestion, this vital organ absorbs water and electrolytes from digested residue. The large intestine is divided into four sections: ascending (left), transverse (top), descending (right, cut away), and sigmoid (bottom). The sigmoid colon seamlessly connects with the rectum to facilitate waste elimination. Along its length, three bands of longitudinal muscle called teniae coli can be observed. These muscles extend from the appendix at bottom left all the way to the rectum and aid in forming haustra – compartment-like pouches that contribute to efficient functioning. This mesmerizing illustration provides a comprehensive view of both anatomical structure and physiological processes within our digestive system. It highlights how innervation plays a pivotal role in ensuring proper functioning of our large intestine. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Science Photo Library's commitment to providing educational resources that showcase scientific wonders while capturing their artistic essence.
