Atlanto-occipital joint, artwork C016 / 6555
Atlanto-occipital joint. Artwork of the bones (yellow) and ligaments (blue) of the atlanto-occipital joint, as seen from behind (posterior view). This joint is between the occipital bone at the rear base of the skull, and the atlas bone, the first cervical vertebra. The axis bone (second cervical vertebra) is also shown. Overlying membranes and ligaments have been removed to shown the alar ligaments

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the atlanto-occipital joint, a crucial connection between the occipital bone and atlas bone in the human skull. With a white background that accentuates its details, this artwork (C016 / 6555) provides a posterior view of the joint, revealing both bones and ligaments in vibrant yellow and blue hues respectively. The image allows us to delve into the realm of biology and anatomy as we witness this healthy joint dissected for our understanding. The sectioning reveals not only the vertebrae but also exposes various membranes and ligaments that have been removed to highlight the alar ligaments. This arthrological masterpiece offers an invaluable insight into how these elements work together harmoniously within our spinal structure. From behind, we can truly appreciate how each component fits perfectly like puzzle pieces, contributing to optimal functionality. The cutouts emphasize their articulating nature while drawing attention to important features such as articular capsules and mambranes. As we explore this visual representation, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously captured by BO VEISLAND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY. This print is more than just an artistic portrayal; it serves as a valuable educational resource for students, researchers, or anyone with an interest in human anatomy.
