Healthy spine, artwork
Healthy spine, computer artwork. The spine is a column of cylindrical bones called vertebrae that support the trunk and head and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord passes through the hole seen in the view at right. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs (purple) that allow a degree of flexibility and cushion the vertebrae during movement. Each vertebra has bony projections which provide attachment sites for the muscles and ligaments that hold the spine together

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning computer artwork of a healthy spine, providing us with an intricate view of the human body's backbone. Against a clean white background, this profile illustration highlights the anatomy and biology of our spinal column in remarkable detail. The spine, composed of cylindrical bones known as vertebrae, serves as a crucial support system for our trunk and head while safeguarding the delicate spinal cord. In this image, we can observe the hole through which the spinal cord passes on the right side. Additionally, between each vertebra are intervertebral discs depicted in a vibrant purple hue. These discs not only allow flexibility but also act as cushions during movement. Examining this artwork from above or from its side view reveals how each vertebra possesses bony projections that serve as attachment points for muscles and ligaments responsible for holding our spine together. The precision and accuracy captured in this illustration truly emphasize both the normality and complexity of our anatomical structure. With its cut-out style presentation against a white backdrop, this biological masterpiece offers an exceptional visual representation of various components such as vertebral columns, bones, and intervertebral discs. This Science Photo Library creation is not just visually striking but also educational—providing insights into one of nature's most fascinating creations: the human body's healthy spine.
