Elastic fibers made from chondroblasts and chondrocytes (Cartilage)


Atlas looks rather uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because the world he is holding is flat and the weight is spread less evenly across his shoulders--or on his mind (the weight of such a fallacy)? My atlas also seems to be chinless. As a barely passing first year medical student, I can say with absolute confidence that I have no idea what anatomical phenomenon this is due to. The collapse of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck perhaps? Instead, I attribute this to years of serious work by me and not enough time using the fun tools (like the spray-painter!) in the computer 'paint' program.
