Torso bones
Torso bones. Computer artwork of the bones of the human torso. The backbone (running vertically down the centre) is a flexible column of 26 bones (vertebrae). It encloses and protects the spinal cord, and is connected to the skull (not seen) and to the pelvis (lower centre). The bones of the pelvis articulate (connect) with both the backbone and the leg bones (not seen), and also protect the lower abdominal organs. The 12 pairs of ribs are connected to the backbone, and form a cage (upper centre) to protect the heart and lungs. The backs scapula (shoulder blade) bones articulate with the arm bones (not seen). The clavicles (collarbones) are attached to the top of the ribcage

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the human torso. Created through computer artwork, it provides a detailed visualization of the various bones that make up this vital part of our body. At the core is the flexible backbone, consisting of 26 vertebrae that run vertically down the center. Serving as both a protective enclosure for the spinal cord and a connection point to both the skull and pelvis, it forms an essential foundation. Moving outward from the backbone, we observe how the bones of the pelvis articulate with both leg bones (not visible) and provide protection to lower abdominal organs. The ribcage, composed of 12 pairs of ribs connected to the backbone, forms an elegant cage in upper center region safeguarding our heart and lungs. The scapula or shoulder blade bones are also depicted here; they articulate with arm bones (not seen), enabling fluid movement in our upper limbs. Additionally, attached atops this remarkable ribcage are clavicles or collarbones which complete this intricate skeletal framework. This artful illustration not only highlights healthy anatomy but also emphasizes t
