Spine. Computer artwork of a healthy spine seen from the side. At top is the skull and at bottom are the bones of the pelvis. The spine is a column of 33 cylindrical bones called vertebrae, which support the trunk and head and protect the spinal cord. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs (green) that allow a degree of flexibility and cushion the vertebrae during movement. Each vertebra has bony projections that provide attachment sites for the muscles and ligaments that hold the spine together

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty and complexity of the human spine. With a side view perspective, it offers a detailed glimpse into the anatomy of this vital structure. At the top, we see the skull, symbolizing our connection to consciousness and intelligence. At the bottom lies the pelvis, representing stability and support. The spine itself is an awe-inspiring column composed of 33 cylindrical bones called vertebrae. These vertebrae not only provide crucial support for our trunk and head but also safeguard our delicate spinal cord. Nestled between each vertebra are intervertebral discs depicted in vibrant green hues - these act as shock absorbers during movement while allowing flexibility. Every individual vertebra boasts bony projections that serve as attachment sites for muscles and ligaments responsible for holding this magnificent structure together. This illustration highlights how every element works harmoniously within our bodies to maintain balance, strength, and mobility. With its emphasis on biology and anatomy, this computer artwork from Science Photo Library encapsulates both scientific precision and artistic finesse. It serves as a reminder of how remarkable our skeletal system truly is - an essential foundation upon which all other bodily functions rely.
