Shoulder muscles, artwork C013 / 4504
Shoulder muscles. Computer artwork of an oblique anterior view of two of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and their attachments to the bones of the chest, back and upper arms. The deltoid muscle wraps around the shoulder, running from the clavicle (collar bone) and the acromion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus (upper arm bone). The large pectoralis major muscle runs from the clavicle and sternum (breastbone) to the intertubercular groove on the humerus. The left-hand side of this view includes joint ligaments (white). The muscles at left are semi-transparent to show underlying bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of shoulder muscles in all their glory. The artwork, titled "Shoulder Muscles" offers a visually stunning oblique anterior view of two prominent muscles that play a vital role in our upper body mobility. In vivid red hues, the deltoid muscle steals the spotlight as it gracefully wraps around the shoulder joint. Originating from both the clavicle and acromion of the scapula, this powerful muscle finds its final attachment at the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus bone. Its presence is not only aesthetically pleasing but also crucial for various arm movements. Adjacent to it lies another significant player - the pectoralis major muscle. Stretching from both clavicle and sternum to reach its destination at the intertubercular groove on the humerus, this large muscle contributes to our chest's strength and stability. To provide a comprehensive understanding, joint ligaments are depicted in white on one side of this artwork while maintaining transparency on certain areas to reveal underlying bones. The intricacy captured within this image serves as a testament to human anatomy's marvels. It invites us into an exploration of our musculoskeletal system - an essential aspect of what makes us who we are. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply appreciate artistry combined with scientific precision, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and ignite curiosity about our incredible bodies.
