Artwork of bones in the human female pelvis
Artwork featuring bones of the human female pelvis, showing a frontal view of the right side. The bony pelvis forms a rigid structure that protects the organs of the lower abdomen and provides attachments for the bones and muscles of the lower limbs. The head of the femur (the upper bone of the leg) articulates with the innominate bone of the pelvis in a ball & socket type joint. The pelvis is divided into two halves, which are joined at the rear by the sacrum & in the front at the symphysis pubis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of the human female pelvis, providing a frontal view of its right side. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this bony structure that serves as both a protective shield for the lower abdominal organs and a vital attachment point for the bones and muscles of our lower limbs. In this remarkable piece, we can observe how the head of the femur, which is located in our upper leg, forms an articulation with the innominate bone of the pelvis through a ball and socket joint. This connection allows for fluid movement and flexibility in our hips. The pelvis itself is divided into two halves that are joined at both ends - at the rear by the sacrum and at its front by the symphysis pubis. These connections not only provide stability but also allow for slight movements during activities such as walking or running. Through this artwork, we gain a deeper appreciation for one of nature's marvels - our own skeletal system. It reminds us that beneath our skin lies an intricate network of bones that shape us physically while enabling us to navigate through life's adventures. This stunning print from Science Photo Library invites us to explore and admire these anatomical wonders found within every human body.
