Foot nerves
Foot nerves. Historical anatomical artwork of the nerves (white) of the sole of a human foot. Also shown are muscles (red), and ligaments, tendons and other connective tissues (grey). At left, the superficial muscles and tendons are seen, mostly covering the nerves. At right, the superficial tissues have been removed to show the branching of the internal and external plantar nerves. The heel bone (calcaneus, covered in connective tissue) is seen at top on each foot. Artwork from The Nerves of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1839)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical anatomical artwork showcases the intricate network of foot nerves, providing a glimpse into the complexity of human anatomy. The print reveals the white nerves that traverse through the sole of a human foot, accompanied by vibrant red muscles and various connective tissues in shades of grey. On the left side, superficial muscles and tendons dominate the scene, partially concealing the delicate nerve pathways. However, on the right side, these superficial tissues have been meticulously removed to expose the branching pattern of both internal and external plantar nerves. The top section displays two heel bones covered in connective tissue known as calcaneus. This remarkable illustration originates from "The Nerves of the Human Body" edited by Jones Quain and published in London back in 1839. It serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals studying neurology or anyone with a keen interest in understanding our nervous system's complexities. With its detailed depiction of foot anatomy dating back to the 19th century, this artwork offers not only scientific insight but also historical significance. Its inclusion within textbooks during that era highlights its importance as an educational tool for aspiring physicians and anatomists alike. Science Photo Library presents this extraordinary piece capturing both surface-level details and deep-seated structures beneath it all—truly a treasure trove for those fascinated by medicine, history, or artistry intertwined with science.
