Upper body skeleton, computer artwork
Upper body skeleton. Computer artwork of a human skeleton showing the bones of the upper body. At the top is the base of the skull and the jaw bone. The backbone or spine runs down the back of the body from the base of the skull to the pelvis. The ribcage (centre) is comprised of twelve pairs of curved ribs that attach to the spinal column at the back and to the sternum at the front. The large bones seen behind the rib cage are the scapulae or shoulder blades

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork print showcases the intricate details of the upper body skeleton. The image starts at the top, where we can observe the base of the skull and the jaw bone, highlighting their unique structure. Moving down, our attention is drawn to the backbone or spine that runs along the back of the body from the base of the skull all the way to the pelvis. The centerpiece of this composition is undoubtedly the ribcage, composed of twelve pairs of elegantly curved ribs. These ribs attach to both ends - connecting with precision to both spinal column at its rear and sternum at its front. Behind this remarkable ribcage, we catch a glimpse of two large bones known as scapulae or shoulder blades. In vibrant hues ranging from pink to magenta and purple, this illustration brings life to an otherwise unseen world within us. It serves as a testament to human biology and medicine's profound understanding through anatomy studies. With each vertebrae meticulously depicted in shades that accentuate their importance in maintaining our posture and movement capabilities, this artwork invites contemplation on our own skeletal framework. From clavicle to cervical vertebrae, pelvis to humerus; every bone plays a crucial role in supporting our bodies' functionality. This stunning visual representation masterfully combines science and artistry into one captivating piece—a true celebration of human anatomy brought forth by Science Photo Library's expertise.
