Torso nerves
Torso nerves. Historical anatomical artwork of the nerves (white) of parts of a human torso. At lower frame, a side view of the abdomen (front of body at left) shows muscles (red) and connective tissue (grey) covering muscles. These are the superficial or cutaneous (skin) nerves. At upper frame are the intercostal nerves running between the ribs. It is a frontal view (by dissection) of the left-hand ribs at the back of the body, which are attached to the spine (at left). The intercostal nerves are direct branches from the spinal cord. Artwork from The Nerves of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1839)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of historical anatomical artwork titled "Torso nerves". Dating back to the 19th century, this illustration provides an intricate depiction of the nerves within various parts of a human torso. The lower frame exhibits a side view of the abdomen, where muscles in vibrant red and connective tissue in subtle grey elegantly cover them. These superficial or cutaneous nerves are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the skin. Moving to the upper frame, we encounter intercostal nerves running between the ribs. This frontal view presents a dissection of the left-hand ribs at the back of the body, revealing their attachment to the spine on the left side. The intercostal nerves depicted here are direct branches originating from our spinal cord, playing an essential role in relaying signals throughout our body. This extraordinary artwork is sourced from "The Nerves of Human Body" edited by Jones Quain and published in London in 1839. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to humanity's fascination with understanding our own anatomy. With its meticulous attention to detail and historical significance, this image transports us back centuries ago when medical knowledge was still being explored and documented meticulously. It stands as a testament to how far we have come in unraveling mysteries surrounding our nervous system while reminding us that there is always more yet to be discovered about ourselves.
