Atlanto-occipital joint, artwork C016 / 6554
Atlanto-occipital joint. Artwork of the bones (yellow) and ligaments (blue) of the atlanto-occipital joint, as seen from behind (posterior view). This joint is between the occipital bone at the rear base of the skull, and the atlas bone, the first cervical vertebra. The axis bone (second cervical vertebra) is also shown. The tectorial membrane has been removed to shown the cruciate ligament of atlas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the Atlanto-occipital joint, a crucial connection between the occipital bone and atlas bone in our skull. Presented from a posterior view, this artwork beautifully highlights the bones in yellow and ligaments in blue against a clean white background. The image also includes the axis bone, providing a comprehensive visual representation of this complex joint. The removal of the tectorial membrane reveals the cruciate ligament of atlas, further enhancing our understanding of its anatomical structure. With its focus on biology and anatomy, this illustration offers valuable insights into spinal health and function. By dissecting and sectioning various layers, it provides an accurate portrayal of normal vertebrae alignment within the neck region. The attention to detail is evident as every aspect - from cutouts to articulating joints - has been meticulously depicted. This print serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals studying arthrology or anyone interested in exploring human anatomy at a deeper level. Created by BO VEISLAND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print exemplifies their commitment to delivering high-quality scientific imagery without any commercial intent. It is an exceptional addition to any collection that seeks to educate and inspire through visually stunning representations of biological structures.
