Healthy skull, coloured X-ray
Healthy human skull. Side view X-ray showing the skull and the outline of the head (black). The bones of the cranium are fused together to form a complete structure that protects the brain. Attached at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the mandible, or jaw, (at lower right) which allows actions such as chewing and speech to be performed. Fillings in the teeth can also be seen. The skull is supported by the vertebrae of the neck (lower left). At the front of the skull the sinuses can be seen (dark), numerous air spaces lined with mucous membranes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a healthy human skull in all its intricate detail. The side view X-ray reveals the complete structure of the cranium, which serves as a protective shield for the brain. Every bone in this fusion is clearly visible, demonstrating the remarkable strength and resilience of our skeletal system. At the lower right corner, we can observe the mandible or jawbone attached to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This crucial connection allows us to perform essential actions like chewing and speech. Additionally, one cannot miss noticing the fillings present in some of the teeth, highlighting dental health and care. Supporting this magnificent skull are vertebrae located at its lower left region. These bones form part of our neck's structure and play a vital role in maintaining stability for our head. Moving towards the front of this incredible specimen, dark areas indicate sinuses - air-filled spaces lined with mucous membranes that aid in various biological functions. Overall, this image provides an insightful glimpse into human anatomy and offers valuable diagnostic information. It emphasizes not only normalcy but also highlights how each component works together harmoniously within our bodies. With its striking blue hues against a black background, this photograph truly captures both scientific precision and aesthetic beauty simultaneously.
