Cutaway model of face
Model of face. Cutaway model of the human face, seen in profile. The internal carotid artery (red, lower right) supplies the forehead, nose, eyes and middle ear with oxygenated blood. In adults there are 32 teeth (yellow, centre left), which are embedded in the jaw bones. The spherical eyeball (upper left) lies in a cavity in the skull known as an orbit. Its movements are controlled by three pairs of extrinsic muscles (thick brown strips). The nasal cavity (pink, upper left) is lined with a mucous membrane that contains the olfactory cells responsible for smell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed cutaway model of the human face, providing an intriguing glimpse into its intricate anatomy. The profile view reveals various essential features and structures that contribute to our overall facial appearance and functionality. One prominent element is the internal carotid artery depicted in vibrant red hues at the lower right corner. This vital blood vessel supplies oxygenated blood to crucial areas such as the forehead, nose, eyes, and middle ear. Moving towards the center left, we observe a set of 32 teeth embedded within the jaw bones, represented by striking yellow shades. These dental structures play a fundamental role in chewing and speech production. The upper left portion of this model focuses on vision-related components. A spherical eyeball rests within a cavity known as an orbit in the skull. Its movements are skillfully controlled by three pairs of extrinsic muscles showcased as thick brown strips surrounding it. Further up lies the nasal cavity adorned with soft pink tones. This area is lined with a mucous membrane housing olfactory cells responsible for our sense of smell—an extraordinary capability that enhances our sensory experience. Overall, this thought-provoking image beautifully captures both external and internal aspects of facial anatomy—muscles, bones, vessels—all working harmoniously to create one's unique visage while ensuring optimal functioning throughout life's journey.
