Nerve cells, artwork F007 / 5513
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, in a mesmerizing display of computer artwork. Against a striking black background, the central focus is on these remarkable cells that play a vital role in our nervous system. Neurons are responsible for transmitting information throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and from there to every part of our body. The image reveals a nerve cell body surrounded by an array of dendrites, which act as extensions collecting information from other nerve cells or sensory cells. Each neuron possesses an essential process called an axon, through which crucial information travels to other cells including muscle fibers and other nerve cells. This complex network forms the foundation for neural communication within our bodies. The illustration not only highlights the structural intricacies but also emphasizes their significance in various fields such as biology, research, medicine, and neurology. These neurons are at the core of our neurological health and function. With its detailed portrayal of synapses and pyramidal cells within this neural network, this artwork serves as a visual representation of how electrical impulses flow through these specialized cellular structures. It reminds us of the incredible complexity that underlies human physiology while offering insight into ongoing advancements in healthcare and medical illustration.
