MRI Full Body

The abdomen is the body's internal hub, where several of our most important organs are gathered in a protected but flexible space. These organs include digestive organs such as the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. These organs are responsible for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, as well as detoxification and metabolism.

The kidneys and ureters are also located in the abdomen, which are responsible for purifying the blood and regulating both fluid and salt balance. The spleen is part of the immune system and breaks down old blood cells. All of these organs are surrounded by a protective peritoneum and are stored in different layers of muscle, fat and connective tissue that make up the abdominal wall. The abdomen is a very rich area of ​​both blood vessels and nerves, which makes it sensitive to both illness and injury.

The back is one of the body's most central structures, both in terms of stability and movement. The back consists primarily of the spinal column (vertebral column), which is made up of several vertebrae divided into the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord – part of the central nervous system – and act as pillars for posture. Between all vertebrae there are discs, which act as shock absorbers and enable flexibility.

Muscles, tendons and ligaments also have a place in the back. Deep back muscles stabilize the spine, while the extrinsic muscles contribute to movement throughout the upper body. Nerves also pass through the spine, whose nerve roots transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body. In summary, the back plays a crucial role in posture, movement, strength and nerve function.

The chest (thorax) is a protective place for the body's vital organs, such as the heart and lungs. The chest consists of the sternum, twelve pairs of ribs and the vertebrae of the thoracic spine, which together form a strong yet flexible skeleton. The skeleton serves as a strong protection against external influences and is at the same time an attachment point for muscles involved in breathing and upper body movements.

Inside the chest is the heart, which pumps blood to the entire body, and the lungs in which gas exchange occurs during breathing. The respiratory muscle diaphragm forms the bottom of the chest and plays a major role in both inhalation and exhalation. In addition to the organs, the chest also houses large blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels. The breast tissue in women, including the nipples, is also part of the chest and has both hormonal and functional roles.

The head is the body's home for several of our most advanced functions and sensory organs. The head houses the brain, which controls our entire nervous system and enables everything from consciousness, memory, thinking ability and emotions. The brain is protected by the skull bone, which also serves as the attachment point for the facial muscles.

Our sensory organs are also located here, such as the eyes for vision, the ears for hearing and balance, the nose for smell, and the mouth for taste and speech. The face consists of several bones and soft tissues that form the forehead, cheeks, nose and jaws. The oral cavity contains the teeth, tongue and salivary glands, which help with functions such as chewing and swallowing. The scalp protects the surface of the skull and the hair on the head functions as both temperature regulation and protection against the sun and cold.

The pelvis is the lower center of the body and consists of several fused bones that connect the spine to the legs. It is both a supporting structure and a protective framework for the urinary tract, genitals and parts of the intestine. The hip joints, which enable walking and movement, and the sacroiliac joints that connect the spine to the pelvis are also located in the pelvis.

When it comes to the internal genital organs that are located in the pelvis, men have the prostate and vas deferens. The internal genital organs of women consist of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. The external genital organs – such as the clitoris, labia, penis, scrotum and testicles – also belong to this area. Our genitals are rich in nerves, blood vessels and glands, which are important for reproduction, hormone production and urination. It is an area where anatomy, function and sexuality meet.

The neck and throat are an important transition zone between the head and torso, where several critical structures are gathered within a narrow space. The cervical spine, which consists of the seven uppermost vertebrae in the spine, provides support for the head while also allowing for both twisting and bending. The trachea, which carries air to the lungs, and the esophagus, which transports food to the stomach, pass here.

The vocal cords are located in the larynx, which is central to speech and voice formation. The neck region also contains important blood vessels such as the carotid artery, as well as nerves that control the face and arms. Lymph nodes, thyroid gland and salivary glands are also located here, making the area anatomically and clinically complex. The neck is also sensitive to infections, stiffness, swelling and circulatory disorders.
