Upper body skeleton
Upper body skeleton. Computer artwork of a glass- effect human female body in side view showing the skeletal structure of the head and torso. Inside the head is the skull (top), comprising the cranium or braincase, facial and jaw bones. The backbone or spinal column runs down the back of the body from the base of the skull to the pelvic bones (not seen). The ribcage (lower centre) is formed of twelve pairs of curved ribs that attach to the spinal column at the back and the sternum or breastbone at the front. The ribcage protects the organs of the thoracic cavity. The large bones behind the ribcage are the scapulae or shoulder blades (only one seen)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of the upper body skeleton. Created using computer artwork, a stunning glass-like effect is applied to a human female body in side view, revealing the underlying skeletal structure of her head and torso. Within the transparent head, we can observe the skull's composition, consisting of the cranium or braincase along with facial and jaw bones. The backbone or spinal column gracefully extends from the base of the skull down to unseen pelvic bones. Protecting vital organs within the thoracic cavity, a ribcage formed by twelve pairs of curved ribs attaches to both the spinal column at its back and sternum or breastbone at its front. In this particular image, our focus lies on one shoulder blade known as scapulae which elegantly emerges behind this protective ribcage. It is worth noting that only one shoulder blade is visible here. The overall illustration provides an insightful glimpse into human anatomy by highlighting key elements such as vertebrae, clavicles (collar bone), cranial structures, and various other bones that contribute to forming our upper body framework. Science Photo Library has once again captured scientific marvels through their lens in this visually striking representation of our skeletal system's complexity.
