Nerve cells, artwork F007 / 5510
Computer artwork of nerve cells, also called neurons. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. The nerve cell comprises a nerve cell body surrounded by numerous extensions called dendrites, which collect information from other nerve cells or from sensory cells. Each neuron has one process called an axon through which information passes to other cells, including other nerve cells and muscle fibres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nerve cells, also known as neurons. Against a striking black background, the artwork F007 / 5510 captures the essence of these vital components of our central nervous system (CNS). Neurons play a crucial role in transmitting information within the CNS and between it and the rest of our body. The image reveals a nerve cell body at its core, surrounded by an array of dendrites extending like delicate branches. These dendrites serve as collectors, gathering information from other nerve cells or sensory cells. Each neuron possesses an axon - a single process through which information flows to other cells, including muscle fibers and fellow neurons. With its focus on neural communication and electrical impulses firing across synapses, this artwork symbolizes the complex network that governs our biological systems. It represents not only biology but also research and medicine's ongoing quest to understand and harness the power of our nervous system for better health outcomes. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this medical illustration transcends mere scientific documentation to become an artistic representation of life's inner workings. It invites us to ponder the wonders hidden beneath our skin while reminding us how interconnected every aspect of our being truly is.
