X-ray of healthy human hands
Healthy hands. X-ray of healthy human hands. The bones are white and the tissue is pale grey. There are two phalanges bones in each of the thumbs and three in each finger. The palms contain the metacarpal bones with the carpal bones of the wrists (lower left & right) below. The bones of the forearm, the radius (larger) and the ulna, are at lower right and left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of healthy human hands through an X-ray image. The bones, depicted in a striking white hue, form the foundation of these remarkable appendages. Delicate and precise, each hand consists of two phalanges bones in the thumbs and three in every finger. The palms reveal another layer of complexity as they contain metacarpal bones accompanied by the carpal bones of the wrists positioned below them on both sides. These structures provide stability and flexibility to our hands, enabling us to perform a wide range of tasks with dexterity. Intriguingly, this image also captures a glimpse of the forearm's underlying architecture. The radius, larger than its counterpart ulna, can be observed at lower right while the ulna rests at lower left. Together with all other components visible in this X-ray composition – thumb, skeleton, finger – they contribute to an extraordinary anatomical masterpiece that is our hand. As we marvel at this photograph from Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder not only of our body's incredible design but also highlights how interconnected various elements are within it. This visual representation invites us to appreciate both the elegance and functionality inherent in our skeletal structure while acknowledging its vital role in facilitating everyday activities we often take for granted.
