Forearm in supine position, artwork
Pronation of the forearm. Artwork of an anterior (frontal) view of a human left forearm with clenched hand and protruding thumb, showing the underlying bone structure during pronation. The forearm is rotated while keeping the upper arm and elbow stationary. This joint movement, turning the palm from facing up to facing down, is known as pronation. It causes the two forearm bones, the ulna and radius, to cross (here, the ulna passes below the radius). Also visible are the wrist bones, part of the metacarpals of the hand, and part of the humerus (upper arm bone)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a forearm in the supine position, showcasing the fascinating process of pronation. The artwork depicts an anterior view of a human left forearm with a clenched hand and protruding thumb, providing insight into the underlying bone structure during this movement. Pronation refers to the rotation of the forearm while keeping the upper arm and elbow stationary. In this image, we witness how this joint movement turns the palm from facing up to facing down. As a result, the two forearm bones, namely ulna and radius, cross each other (with ulna passing below radius). The photograph also reveals additional elements such as wrist bones, part of metacarpals in hand, and even part of humerus (upper arm bone). This comprehensive representation allows us to appreciate not only the complexity but also the harmony within our anatomical structures. Displayed against a striking blue background with cut-out precision, this artwork beautifully showcases both artistry and scientific accuracy. Its monochromatic palette emphasizes every minute detail while maintaining clarity for educational purposes. With its focus on normal anatomy and healthy limb positioning, this print is an invaluable resource for biology enthusiasts or medical professionals seeking visual aids that accurately depict pronation. A testament to Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library's commitment to excellence in scientific imagery.
