Right shoulder nerve plexus, artwork C016 / 6815
Right shoulder nerve plexus. Artwork of the nerves (yellow), arteries (red), muscles (red-brown) and bones (light brown) of the right shoulder, seen from the front. This nerve plexus lies between the clavicle bone (bottom) and the carotid artery (red). The nerve running from right is the phrenic nerve. The muscles are the infrahyoid (upper right), the sternocleidomastoid (top left), and the trapezius (centre left). The muscles of the nerve plexus are (right to left): the anterior scalene, middle scalene, and posterior scalene. For the left shoulder, see C016/6814

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of nerves, arteries, muscles, and bones that make up the right shoulder nerve plexus. The artwork beautifully illustrates these anatomical structures in vivid detail. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the vibrant yellow nerves that intertwine with the red arteries, creating a visually striking contrast against the backdrop of red-brown muscles and light brown bones. This composition offers a comprehensive view of the complex interplay between these components. Positioned between the clavicle bone at its base and the prominent carotid artery in red, this nerve plexus holds significant importance within our bodies. Notably visible is the phrenic nerve running from right to left—a crucial pathway responsible for controlling our breathing. The artwork also highlights three key muscles: infrahyoid on the upper right side, sternocleidomastoid on top left, and trapezius in center-left position. These muscular structures play essential roles in movement and stability within this region. To further understand this remarkable illustration's significance, it is worth noting that it represents a healthy shoulder joint—anatomy functioning as intended. Its inclusion of blood vessels emphasizes their vital role in supplying oxygenated blood throughout this area. Overall, D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured an image that not only appeals aesthetically but also provides valuable insights into human biology and neurology—showcasing both beauty and complexity simultaneously.
