Shoulder joint X-ray
Shoulder. Coloured X-ray of a healthy shoulder joint. The joint is a ball-and-socket joint, with the ball (lower right) of the upper arm bone (humerus) fitting into the socket (centre left) of the shoulder blade (scapula). Above these, at upper left, is part of the collarbone (clavicle), which supports the arm. This joint allows rotation and movement in any direction, unlike the hinge joints of the knees and elbows

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a healthy shoulder joint. The image reveals a coloured X-ray, highlighting the remarkable ball-and-socket joint that exists within our bodies. Positioned at the lower right corner is the rounded ball, which represents the upper arm bone known as humerus. This perfectly fits into the socket located towards the center left, formed by the shoulder blade or scapula. The complexity of this joint becomes even more apparent as we observe part of another essential component: the collarbone or clavicle, visible at upper left. Serving as a vital support for our arms, it plays an integral role in maintaining stability and facilitating movement. Unlike hinge joints found in knees and elbows that allow limited motion along one axis, this shoulder joint offers unparalleled freedom of rotation and movement in any direction. Such versatility enables us to perform various activities with ease and grace. Through advanced medical techniques like radiography, this diagnostic image provides valuable insights into human anatomy while aiding healthcare professionals in their diagnosis process. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this snapshot of normal skeletal health to educate and inform individuals about their own bodies.
