Human spine model
Human spine model. Model of a human vertebral column (spine) showing a number of its vertebrae (white discs). The spine is the central supporting structure of the human body. It is made up of a number of bones called vertebrae, separated by discs of cartilage (dark bands). The bones sticking out at right angles to the vertebrae are the ribs. These curl round to form the ribcage, the two sides of which join together at the sternum (breast bone, top centre)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed model of the human spine, highlighting its intricate structure and vital role as the central supporting system of our bodies. The model displays several vertebrae, represented by white discs, which are interconnected by cartilage-filled discs (dark bands). These intervertebral discs provide flexibility and cushioning to ensure smooth movement and protect against impact. The ribs, depicted as bones protruding at right angles from the vertebrae, gracefully curve around to form the ribcage. This protective enclosure encompasses both sides of the body and converges at the sternum or breastbone located at the top center. Together with the spine, these elements create a harmonious skeletal framework that safeguards our internal organs. This image not only captures anatomical precision but also symbolizes health and vitality. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to maintain proper spinal alignment for overall well-being. Whether studying biology or simply appreciating human anatomy, this photograph provides an excellent visual aid for understanding the complexity and beauty of our skeletal system. With its focus on detail and accuracy, this print from Science Photo Library offers an insightful glimpse into osteology—the study of bones—and arthrology—the study of joints—while showcasing their seamless integration within our bodies' architecture.
