The Medical Stock Images Company was founded with the view to enhance the quality and availability of stock medical illustrations and medical imagery through only using certified medical artists. There is also a goal to the business approach to carry this out in a way that is both ethical and equitable.

Part of the ethical approach of its on-going commitment, The Medical Stock Images Company has signed up to become members for 1% For The Planet, pledging its support to this amazing association. 1% For The Planet connects businesses, consumers and non-profits with the view of empowering them to drive positive change, for the protection of the planet.

There is nothing quite as engaging and eye-catching as an anatomical illustration, whether it’s part of a poster, advert or website! After all, advertisers have used visuals for years to grab attention and to stand out from competitors. But, a medical illustration is also a very powerful and engaging tool when it comes to education and learning.

It’s why The Medical Stock Images Company contains such engaging, valuable art and illustrations that are ready for immediate purchase and download.

Take the life-sized human skeleton for example and it's matching full-size muscle counterpart. The aim from the start was to depict the size, detail and proportion of every bone and muscle in the human body so that people could fully appreciate the intricacy of muscular and skeletal anatomy. Given that a standard diagram in a book or on the web is only a few centimetres big, the aim was to create and supply something really useful.

In anatomy there are very specific terms that are used to describe body structures and their positioning and orientation. These terms are unique to anatomy and are used to describe the anatomical location in a more precise way and in a way that is common amongst all those working in the field of anatomy. These planes are used to describe the divisions of the individual organs, separate limbs as well as the divisions of the human body as a whole.
