Abstract image of a clock on a womans head
MODEL RELEASED. Biological clock. Abstract image depicting human biorhythms, showing a clock superimposed onto a womans head. Many biological processes are believed to take place under the direction of an internal clock mechanism. Processes such as wakefulness and tiredness are based on a daily or circadian (24 hour) cycle regulated by hormones such as melatonin and cortisol. Another example is the menstrual cycle, which repeats itself roughly every 28 days in fertile women

Abstract Biorhythm Clock Imagery Time Time Measurement Concepts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate connection between time and human biology. The abstract image features a clock superimposed onto a woman's head, symbolizing the concept of the biological clock. Our bodies operate on various biorhythms, with numerous processes believed to be regulated by an internal clock mechanism. The daily or circadian cycle plays a crucial role in our wakefulness and tiredness patterns, guided by hormones like melatonin and cortisol. This fascinating interplay between time and our physiological state is beautifully represented in this artwork. Additionally, the menstrual cycle serves as another example of how our bodies adhere to specific timelines, repeating roughly every 28 days for fertile women. By visually merging the elements of a clock and a woman's head, this image prompts us to reflect on the profound influence that time has on our physical well-being. It invites contemplation about how these internal clocks govern essential functions within us. Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this thought-provoking representation of human biorhythms through their expertise in scientific imagery. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded of the intricate relationship between time measurement and our biological existence – an intriguing fusion that continues to captivate scientists and researchers alike.
