Hip anatomy, artwork C013 / 4430
Hip anatomy. Computer artwork of the head of the left femur (centre right) articulating with the left-hand side of the pelvis to form the hip joint. The bones of the left side of the pelvis are semi-transparent here to show details of the head of the femur. The femoral head and pelvic socket include hyaline cartilage (white) and synovial membrane (white) and fluid. Both cartilage and fluid help to lubricate the joint. At the centre of femoral head is its ligament (ligamentum capitis femoris, fibrous white). The pelvic girdle is at lower centre and the coccyx (tailbone of the spine) is at upper left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and fascinating anatomy of the hip joint. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a detailed view of the head of the left femur articulating with the left-hand side of the pelvis, forming a vital connection known as the hip joint. The semi-transparent bones on the left side of the pelvis allow us to appreciate every minute detail of this complex structure. The hyaline cartilage, depicted in white, along with synovial membrane and fluid play crucial roles in lubricating and maintaining this joint's functionality. At its core, we can observe the ligamentum capitis femoris, a fibrous white ligament that adds stability to this weight-bearing joint. Surrounding elements such as the pelvic girdle at lower center and coccyx (tailbone) at upper left provide additional context for understanding how these structures relate within our musculoskeletal system. This image not only highlights key components like bones and joints but also emphasizes connective tissues essential for movement and support. It serves as a valuable resource for studying osteology, arthrology, and overall human anatomy. With its remarkable level of detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library offers an insightful glimpse into one aspect of our body's incredible complexity - reminding us just how intricately designed we truly are.
