Muscle Collection (#94)

Skeleton dancing. Computer artwork of a dancing womans skeleton and musculature. The bones of the skeleton provide a structural framework and protect the internal organs

Skeletal muscle fibre. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of skeletal muscle fibre. This type of muscle is striated

Muscles of the head and neck, historical anatomical artwork. This head has been dissected to show several muscles involved in moving the face and neck

Skeletal muscle, TEM
Skeletal muscle. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a longitudinal section through skeletal, or striated, muscle

Gut muscle cells, TEM
Gut muscle cells, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Nuclei are pink. The involuntary contraction of this smooth muscle is responsible for peristalsis

Cardiac muscle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of heart (cardiac) muscle fibrils (yellow). The membrane around the muscle has been torn (yellow)

Diaphragm, historical anatomical artwork. This view shows the upper surface of the diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity

Smooth muscle, SEM
Smooth muscle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of smooth muscle from the trachea (windpipe). Smooth muscle is not under voluntary control, unlike skeletal (striated) muscle

Muscle and nerve tissue, SEM
Muscle and nerve tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an ultrathin section of tissue containing muscle (brown) and nerves (pink) supported on a TEM (transmission electron micrograph)

Tongue anatomy. Historical anatomical artwork of a human tongue. The main diagram (centre) shows the upper surface of the tongue

Skeleton sprinting
Nerve cell growth. Fluorescent light micrograph of a PC12 cell following stimulation by nerve growth factor. The cell body contains the nucleus (green)

Blood vessel and cells, computer artwork
Blood vessel and cells. Computer artwork of various blood cells and a blood vessel. The blood vessel consists of an outer layer of muscle (pink)

Somatic peripheral nervous system
Peripheral nervous system. Computer artwork of the main nerves of the somatic part of the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system does not include the brain and spinal cord

Neonatal reflex test
MODEL RELEASED. Neonatal reflex test. Doctor testing a newborn baby boys grasping reflex. This occurs when a finger or other object is placed in the babys palm

Mans abdomen

Tongue papillae, light micrograph
Tongue papillae. Coloured light micrograph of a section through the tongue, showing its filiform papillae (red). They project from the tongues upper surface, giving it its rough texture

Light micrograph of cardiac muscle & fatty disease

Vision and the brain, MRI scan
Vision and the brain. Coloured Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the head of a 55 year old man, showing the eyes, optic nerves and brain

Eye. Computer artwork of a close-up of the iris and pupil of an eye. The iris, a coloured muscular ring, regulates the amount of light that enters the eye through the pupil (black)

False-colour SEM of a bundle of motor nerve fibres
Nerve fibres. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a bundle of motor nerve fibres (blue). The bundle as a whole is surrounded by a cylindrical sheath of connective tissue

Pericardium, TEM
Pericardium. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through the serous pericardium. The pericardium is a double-walled sac surrounding the heart

Heart with lines behind it, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried into the right side of the heart

Heart of gold, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow sac (lower frame) of muscular tissue that pumps blood around the body. Small surface coronary blood vessels supply the heart muscle with blood

Heart and glowing light, computer artwork. The heart (red) is a hollow sac of muscular tissue that pumps blood around the body

Heart valve tendons, SEM
Heart valve tendons. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the chordae tendineae, tendons which attach the atrioventricular heart valves to their muscles

Heart of glass, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. The vena cava vein (upper left) carries deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body

Heart blood vessels, SEM
Heart blood vessels. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through cardiac muscle, exposing the blood vessels of the heart

Heart and red blood cells, artwork
Heart and red blood cells, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried into the right side of the heart (left)

Electrical conduction in the heart, artwork. Each heartbeat is initiated by an electrical impulse from the sinoatrial (SA) node (green oval) in the right atrium (upper heart chamber)

Dissected heart, light micrograph
Dissected heart. Light micrograph of a section through a whole heart, showing the chambers and some blood. The heart is a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood around the body

Heart and lightbeams
Heart with beams of light behind it, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried into the right side of the heart

Heart and ECG (electrocardiogram) trace, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried into the right side of the heart

Heart and red blood cells (erythrocytes), computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body

Heart, computer artwork. The heart is a hollow muscle that pumps blood around the body. Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried into the right side of the heart (left)
