Skull, CT scan
Human skull, coloured computed tomography (CT) scan. At top is the rounded cranium which houses the brain. The orbits (eye sockets) and nasal cavity (white) are seen. In mammals, the skull consists of 22 bones, most of which are fixed together by rigid joints called sutures. Together, they provide protection for the brain, support for the sight, smell and hearing organs, and anchor points for the lower mandible (jaw)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a human skull. At the top, we can observe the beautifully rounded cranium that serves as a protective housing for the intricate brain. The eye-catching orbits, or eye sockets, and the nasal cavity are clearly visible in white hues. In mammals, including humans, the skull is composed of 22 bones intricately joined together by rigid sutures. This complex structure not only safeguards our precious brain but also provides support for our sight, smell, and hearing organs. Additionally, it acts as an anchor point for our lower mandible or jaw. The detailed image reveals the fascinating anatomy of teeth within this skeletal framework. It highlights how these bony structures play a crucial role in chewing and digestion processes. Presented in three dimensions through advanced computed tomography technology, this photograph offers viewers an immersive experience into the inner workings of our head. From cut-outs to sockets and from cavities to maxilla bone - every element contributes to understanding the complexity and beauty of human cranial architecture. This extraordinary visual representation has been captured by Science Photo Library with utmost precision and clarity – showcasing their expertise in scientific imagery without mentioning any commercial use intentions they may have had while creating this remarkable piece of artistry.
