Bones of the torso, artwork

Bones of the torso and neck, computer artwork. At centre is the spine. The cervical (neck) spine is yellow, the thoracic (upper) spine is red and the lumbar (lower) spine is maroon. The spinal column is made up of vertebrae, block-like bones that protect the spinal cord and support the upper body. The ribcage is made up of twelve pairs of curved bones that attach to the thoracic spine at the back and the sternum (breastbone) at the front. The large triangular bone at the base of the spine is the sacrum, with the coccyx (tailbone) below that. Either side of the sacrum are the large ear-shaped hip bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the bones that make up the torso and neck. Created through computer artwork, this illustration highlights the different sections of the spinal column in vibrant colors. At its core lies the spine, with its cervical (neck) section depicted in a striking yellow hue, followed by the thoracic (upper) spine in bold red and finally, the lumbar (lower) spine in deep maroon. The vertebrae form block-like structures that serve as a protective shield for our delicate spinal cord while providing essential support to our upper body. Connected to these vertebrae are twelve pairs of gracefully curved bones known as ribs. These attach to both ends of the thoracic spine at the back and sternum (breastbone) at the front. Dominating this skeletal structure is a large triangular bone called sacrum, situated at the base of our spine. Just below it rests another intriguing bone known as coccyx or tailbone. Flanking either side of sacrum are two ear-shaped hip bones which complete our pelvic girdle. This mesmerizing artwork not only offers an insight into human anatomy but also emphasizes how vital each element is for maintaining a healthy biological system. Its detailed portrayal invites us to marvel at nature's design while appreciating our own bodies' complexity and resilience.
