Cranium anatomy, artwork
Cranium anatomy, computer artwork. At bottom is the brain, which is enclosed in three membranes (grey) known as the meninges. From inner to outer, the meninges are the pia mater, the arachnoid mater, and the dura mater. Above these are the skull (yellow), the periosteum (bone-lining membrane, grey), and an outer skin layer (pink) that includes scalp hairs. Also shown are arterial (red) and venous (blue) capillaries, part of the blood-brain barrier

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate anatomy of the cranium. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a detailed depiction of the human skull against a striking black background. The various layers and components of this vital organ are beautifully illustrated, shedding light on its complexity. At the bottom of the image, we can observe the brain enclosed within three protective membranes known as meninges. These grey membranes consist of the innermost pia mater, followed by the arachnoid mater and finally, the dura mater. Above these layers lies the yellow-colored skull itself, accompanied by a bone-lining membrane called periosteum. Adding to its realism, an outer layer in pink represents our skin complete with scalp hairs. The presence of arterial capillaries depicted in red and venous capillaries shown in blue emphasizes their role in maintaining blood circulation within this crucial organ. One notable feature highlighted is the blood-brain barrier which safeguards our brain's health. This barrier prevents harmful substances from entering while allowing essential nutrients to pass through for optimal functioning. Overall, this awe-inspiring artwork provides us with an insight into both normal and healthy cranial anatomy. It serves as a testament to Science Photo Library's commitment to delivering exceptional visual representations that bridge artistry and scientific knowledge seamlessly
