Head and chest anatomy
Head and chest anatomy. Historical artwork of a human head and upper torso, cut vertically in half and seen sideways. In the head, layers of skin and bone cover the brain (purple). At the front of the head (pink area) is the tongue, palate, and nasal cavity. In the brain, the corpus callosum (pale purple, centre) connects the two hemispheres, while below it the brainstem connects to the spinal cord (pale purple, running down back). This is enclosed by spinal bones (vertebrae, pink at left, purple at right). In the chest (blue) the trachea is the rigid tube in front of the oesophagus (collapsed). The breastbone is in front of the heart (internal chambers seen here, black), which lies between the lungs (not seen). The liver is at bottom, below the diaphragm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of head and chest anatomy. The image depicts a human head and upper torso, precisely cut in half and viewed sideways, providing a unique perspective on the inner workings of our bodies. In the head section, layers of skin and bone envelop the brain, which is highlighted in a striking shade of purple. At the front of the head, we can observe the tongue, palate, and nasal cavity represented by a delicate pink area. The brain reveals its complexity with the corpus callosum connecting both hemispheres while below it lies the brainstem linking to the spinal cord. This vital connection is enclosed by spinal bones that are distinguished by their contrasting colors - pink at left and purple at right. Moving down to explore further within this mesmerizing print, we encounter an array of structures within the chest region. The trachea stands prominently as a rigid tube positioned ahead of an oesophagus that appears collapsed. Behind them lies our heart with its internal chambers depicted in black hues while being flanked by concealed lungs. Towards the bottom portion rests our liver beneath an essential diaphragm. This awe-inspiring illustration not only offers insight into biological intricacies but also serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about ourselves throughout history.
