Anatomical Flap-Up Pictures from 1901 Reveal Many Truths

Greetings,

I hope you enjoy this post by Maria Popova of Brain Pickings.

Some truths the images make clear:
  • Tongues are huge.
  • The jaw is an appendage of the skull.
  • The spine extends into the skull.
  • Finger bones extend far into the hand.
  • Flutists use the "muscles of expression" to create expressive sounds on the flute!

What else do you notice?
