Skull anatomy
Skull anatomy. Historical anatomical artwork of various views of the human skull. The frontal view (upper left) shows the teeth, nose and eye spaces, and the upward bulge of the cranium housing the brain. The side view (lower left) shows the size of the cranium, as does the dissected side view at lower right. The base of the skull (upper right) contains a large hole for the spinal cord to run from the brain to the rest of the body. Below that is the bony roof of the mouth surrounded by jaw and cheek bones. The central, sectioned, side view shows the facial sinuses, spaces in the bones of the face. Artwork from The Bones and Ligaments of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1842)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of skull anatomy, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of human physiology. Taken from a historical anatomical artwork, this image presents various views of the human skull, each revealing unique aspects of its structure. In the upper left corner, we are presented with a frontal view that highlights essential features such as teeth, nose and eye spaces. The upward bulge of the cranium housing the brain is also visible, emphasizing its vital role in protecting our most precious organ. Moving to the lower left side, a side view allows us to appreciate the size and shape of the cranium. A dissected side view at lower right further enhances our understanding by providing an inside look at this remarkable skeletal structure. The upper right portion focuses on the base of the skull which contains a large hole for transmitting signals from our brain through the spinal cord to every part of our body. Just below that lies an intriguing bony roof surrounded by jaw and cheek bones. A central sectioned side view reveals facial sinuses - empty spaces within facial bones - shedding light on their function and importance in overall facial structure. Dating back to 1842 in London's medical history, this artwork originates from "The Bones and Ligaments of Human Body". It serves as both an educational tool for students studying medicine or anatomy and as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about ourselves.
