Atlanto-occipital joint, artwork C016 / 6556
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. Present at left (but removed at right) is the tectorial membrane of the atlanto-axial joint

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the atlanto-occipital joint, a crucial connection between the occipital bone and the atlas bone in our spine. The artwork depicts the bones in yellow and ligaments in blue, providing a comprehensive view from behind (posterior view). With a white background that accentuates its details, this illustration is an invaluable resource for biology enthusiasts and medical professionals alike. The image also includes the axis bone, offering additional insight into this complex joint. On the left side of the print, we can observe the tectorial membrane of the atlanto-axial joint; however, it has been removed on the right side to provide a clearer perspective. This membrane plays an essential role in stabilizing and supporting movement within this articulation. With its emphasis on anatomical accuracy and attention to detail, this artwork highlights both normal anatomy and healthy functioning of this particular joint. It serves as a reminder of how remarkable our bodies are when it comes to structure and function. Whether you're studying arthrology or simply fascinated by human anatomy, this print offers an engaging visual representation that will undoubtedly enhance your understanding of vertebrae, spinal health, neck structure, ligaments, bones - all seen from behind with precision cutouts. BO VEISLAND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured these elements for educational purposes without any commercial use intentions.
