Coloured X-ray of normal lower spine and pelvis
Lower spine and pelvis. Coloured X-ray of healthy human lumbar spine (lower back) and pelvic girdle. At top can be seen the 11th and 12th floating ribs on either side of the thoracic vertebrae. Below these are the five lumbar vertebrae (L1 at top, L5 at lower centre). Beneath L5 is the top of the sacrum attaching to the large pelvic bones (lower left and right, yellow). These bones support the abdominal cavity which contains the liver, stomach and the intestine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray image of a normal lower spine and pelvis, offering an intriguing glimpse into the intricacies of the human skeletal system. The lumbar spine, also known as the lower back, takes center stage in this composition. Five lumbar vertebrae are prominently displayed, with L1 positioned at the top and L5 at the lower center. Above these lumbar vertebrae, we can observe the 11th and 12th floating ribs on either side of the thoracic vertebrae. These ribs add to the structural integrity of our body while allowing for flexibility during movement. Beneath L5 lies another crucial component - the sacrum. This bone connects to large pelvic bones on both sides (depicted in yellow), forming a sturdy foundation that supports our abdominal cavity. Within this cavity reside vital organs such as the liver, stomach, and intestine. The vibrant colors used in this X-ray image enhance its visual appeal while providing valuable insights into human anatomy. It serves as a testament to our remarkable skeletal structure and highlights how each element plays an essential role in maintaining our overall well-being. This awe-inspiring photograph is brought to you by Science Photo Library – an authoritative source for scientific imagery capturing various aspects of life sciences including skeleton anatomy, spinal health, vertebral structures, pelvis formation, and more!
