Phalanx joint anatomy, artwork C016 / 2884
Phalanx joint anatomy. Artwork of a sectioned joint between two phalanx bones (phalanges). These are found in the fingers and toes. The sectioning shows the cancellous interior of the bones, with denser cortical bone forming the outer layers. Cartilage covers the end of the bones where they articulate to form the joint. Ligaments, tendons and other connective tissue (white) hold the joint together and connect bone to bone and muscle (red) to bone

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of a phalanx joint, specifically the joint between two phalanx bones found in our fingers and toes. The sectioning of this artwork allows us to explore the inner structure of these bones, revealing their cancellous interior surrounded by denser cortical bone layers. At the articulating ends of these bones, we can observe hyaline cartilage providing a smooth surface for seamless joint movement. In addition to the bones themselves, this image highlights the vital role played by various connective tissues in maintaining joint stability and facilitating muscle attachment. Ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissue are depicted in white while red represents muscles connecting to bone. Together, they work harmoniously to hold the joint together and enable coordinated movements. The blue background adds an aesthetic touch to this scientific portrayal while emphasizing its biological context. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also offers valuable insights into normal anatomy and healthy functioning. Produced by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional medical imagery collection, this print is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in studying or understanding finger and toe joints' complex architecture. It provides a comprehensive view that combines artistry with scientific accuracy—an ideal piece for anatomists, biologists, medical professionals or enthusiasts seeking knowledge about our remarkable musculoskeletal system's finer details.
