Chest muscles, artwork C013 / 4563
Chest muscles. Computer artwork of a side view of some of the muscles (red) of the chest, showing their attachment to the bones of the ribcage and back. These are the serratus anterior muscles, which attach to the first eight to nine ribs and the medial border of the scapula (shoulder blade). They act to pull the scapula forwards during an action such as swinging an arm forward. The scapula is shown in semi-transparent view to show the location of the muscles underneath it. Also shown here are the bones of the ribcage and spine. The clavicles (collar bones) across the top of the torso are not shown in this view

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of chest muscles, offering a fascinating glimpse into the human anatomy. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a side view of the chest muscles, depicted in vibrant red hues. These particular muscles are known as serratus anterior and play a crucial role in connecting the first eight to nine ribs and the medial border of the scapula or shoulder blade. The image provides an insightful visual representation of how these muscles attach to both bones, highlighting their function during actions such as swinging an arm forward. To enhance clarity, a semi-transparent view of the scapula is included, revealing the underlying location of these powerful chest muscles. Accompanying this striking illustration are also depictions of other essential elements within our body's framework. The bones comprising the ribcage and spine can be observed alongside costal cartilage and even clavicles (collar bones), although they are not visible in this specific perspective. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the complexity and beauty inherent in our musculoskeletal system. It serves as a testament to human biology while providing valuable insights into how our bodies function on a daily basis.
