Coloured artwork of spinal column & spinal nerves

Spinal nerves. Computer-enhanced historical illustration of the human spinal cord and spinal nerves. Red and blue blood vessels & red muscles of the back & the upper arms can be seen. The spinal cord is a mass of yellow nerve fibres running from top to bottom of image. The spinal cord and brain make up the central nervous system (CNS). A set of 31 spinal nerves are seen emerging in two rows at either side of the spinal cord. The lowest 9 nerves supply the legs and form a spray known as the cauda equina. Spinal nerves carry motor and sensory information between the body and CNS. Illustration by the celebrated Italian anatomist Paolo Mascagni (1755-1815)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and intricate artwork of the human spinal column and spinal nerves. Created by the renowned Italian anatomist Paolo Mascagni, this computer-enhanced historical illustration beautifully depicts the complexity of our nervous system. In this artwork, we can observe the spinal cord as a striking mass of yellow nerve fibers running vertically from top to bottom. The central nervous system (CNS), consisting of both the brain and spinal cord, is highlighted here as its core component. Surrounding it are red muscles of the back and upper arms, along with an intricate network of red and blue blood vessels. What truly stands out in this image are the 31 spinal nerves emerging on either side of the spinal cord in two rows. These vital pathways carry essential motor and sensory information between our body and CNS. Interestingly, among these nerves, we can see that the lowest nine supply our legs while forming a beautiful spray known as cauda equina. Paolo Mascagni's artistic representation not only captures scientific accuracy but also presents it in an aesthetically pleasing manner. This print serves as a testament to his skillful craftsmanship in merging artistry with anatomy. It offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at both the intricacies of our spine's structure and appreciate its crucial role within our remarkable nervous system.
