Description
Bone blood vessels, 1866 illustration. At right is the internal blood supply and bone marrow of a thigh bone (femur) that has been sectioned. At upper left are the external arteries on the lower end of a femur. At centre left is the internal microscopic structure of a tibia (one of the lower leg bones). At lower left is the microscopic internal structure of an occipital bone (from the skull). This page is plate 61 from the second volume of 'Atlas d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain' (1844-1866) by French anatomists Constantin Bonamy and Paul Broca. This work described the anatomy of the human body with over 250 hand-coloured lithographs. The illustrations were by Emile Beau, with the text by Bonamy and Broca. The three volumes were bound as four books in 1866 when the atlas was completed. This page is from the second book 'Circulation', a republication of the section on the circulatory system that was first published in 1847.
