Shoulder bones and ligaments

Shoulder bones and ligaments. Historical anatomical artwork of shoulder bones (yellow) and ligaments (white). Ligaments are bands of fibrous tissue that hold bones together at their joints. These artworks show (left-right then top-bottom): front and rear views of a shoulder joint; rear and front surfaces of the scapula (shoulder blade, arm socket at right); front and rear views of ribs and clavicles (collar bones) attaching to the top of the sternum (breast bone). Down centre (from top): glenoid ligament of the shoulder joint; right-hand clavicle (front & below); sectioned shoulder joint (front). Artwork from The Bones and Ligaments of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1842)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical anatomical artwork of shoulder bones and ligaments. The intricate illustration highlights the yellow shoulder bones and white ligaments, which are crucial bands of fibrous tissue that connect and stabilize joints. The artwork provides a comprehensive view of various aspects of the shoulder joint, starting with front and rear perspectives followed by top-bottom sequences. It beautifully depicts the scapula or shoulder blade, serving as an arm socket on the right side. Additionally, it presents both front and rear views of ribs and clavicles (collar bones) attaching to the sternum (breast bone) at the top. Intriguingly, this piece also includes detailed sections showcasing specific elements such as the glenoid ligament of the shoulder joint, a sectioned frontal view of a clavicle on its right-hand side, as well as a sectioned frontal view of the entire shoulder joint itself. Originating from "The Bones and Ligaments of Human Body" edited by Jones Quain in London during 1842, this artwork reflects not only medical knowledge but also artistic brilliance from centuries past. Its inclusion in textbooks during that era demonstrates its significance in advancing our understanding of human anatomy. Overall, this remarkable print offers an insightful glimpse into skeletal structures while celebrating both scientific exploration and artistic expression from history's perspective.
