EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray of a normal human neck in profile, providing an intriguing glimpse into the intricate anatomy of our bodies. The image beautifully highlights the seven cervical vertebrae, which form the foundation of our spine and are easily distinguishable at the center. Each vertebra is adorned with a fascinating appendage known as a spinous process, prominently visible on the left side. As we explore this remarkable visual representation, our attention is drawn to another unexpected detail – teeth and the lower jaw elegantly positioned in the top right corner. This inclusion serves as a reminder that even within one photograph, Science Photo Library has managed to capture multiple aspects of human physiology. The sheer complexity and precision evident in this image remind us of both the fragility and resilience of our skeletal structure. It offers an opportunity for reflection on how these bones provide support while allowing flexibility and mobility necessary for everyday activities. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through once again with their ability to present scientific subjects in such visually striking ways. This particular print not only educates but also captivates viewers by showcasing both beauty and functionality within our own bodies.
