Structure, function, and control of the human musculoskeletal network
Fig 2
(a) Left: Anatomical drawing highlighting the trapezius. Right: Transformation of the trapezius into a hyperedge (red; degree k = 25), linking 25 nodes (bones) across the head, shoulder, and spine. (b) Adductor pollicis muscle linking 7 bones in the hand. (c) Spatial projection of the hyperedge degree distribution onto the human body. High-degree hyperedges are most heavily concentrated at the core. (d) The musculoskeletal network displayed as a bipartite matrix (1 = connected, 0 otherwise). (e) The hyperedge degree distribution for the musculoskeletal hypergraph, which is significantly different than that expected in a random hypergraph.
