Spine. Computer artwork of a healthy spine. At top is the skull and at bottom are the bones of the pelvis. The spine is a column of 33 cylindrical bones called vertebrae, which support the trunk and head and protect the spinal cord. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs that allow a degree of flexibility and cushion the vertebrae during movement. Each vertebra has bony projections that provide attachment sites for the muscles and ligaments that hold the spine together

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty and complexity of the human spine. In this computer artwork, a healthy spine takes center stage, with the skull positioned at the top and the bones of the pelvis at the bottom. The spine, consisting of 33 cylindrical vertebrae, serves as a crucial support system for both our trunk and head while safeguarding our delicate spinal cord. Intervertebral discs play a vital role in this remarkable structure by providing flexibility and cushioning between each vertebra during movement. This ingenious design allows us to bend, twist, and turn without compromising stability or risking injury. Moreover, these vertebrae boast bony projections that serve as attachment sites for muscles and ligaments responsible for holding our entire spinal column together. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration highlights not only its scientific accuracy but also its aesthetic appeal. Every element is meticulously rendered to showcase the natural elegance of our skeletal framework. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how intricately interconnected every part of our body truly is. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in biological artistry through their masterful depiction of this normal human anatomy. This print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression—a true celebration of life's wonders found within ourselves.
