Nose and brain anatomy, artwork
Nose and brain anatomy. Artwork of a sagittal section through the human head, showing the anatomy of the brain and nasal cavity. The three main brain structures are the folded area of the cerebrum (light brown), the cerebellum (lobed structure, dark brown) at the rear of the brain, and the brainstem (beige), at the base of brain. At centre are parts of the limbic system and structures joining the brain hemispheres. The olfactory nerve (orange) passes from the brain through the skull and around the nasal cavity (lower left). Also shown are skull bones, paranasal sinuses, neck bones, soft and hard palate, teeth, and the tongue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Nose and Brain Anatomy" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate structures of the human head. A sagittal section reveals the fascinating complexity of both the brain and nasal cavity. At the core of this composition are three main brain structures: the folded area of the cerebrum, depicted in a light brown hue, symbolizes our higher cognitive functions; nestled at the rear is the cerebellum, with its lobed structure represented in dark brown, responsible for coordination and balance; finally, we have the brainstem in beige, serving as a vital connection between our brain and spinal cord. The central focus also highlights parts of the limbic system and structures that bridge together both hemispheres of our brain. The olfactory nerve takes center stage here as it gracefully winds its way from within our skull to enveloping around our nasal cavity on its journey to process scents. Beyond these remarkable neural networks lie other anatomical details such as skull bones, paranasal sinuses, neck bones, soft and hard palate along with teeth. Even more intriguingly captured is an illustration showcasing various cranial nerves associated with olfaction. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors contrasting against neutral backgrounds, this print from Science Photo Library serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an educational tool that invites us to explore and marvel at one of nature's most extraordinary creations -the human body.
