Nerve cells, artwork F007 / 5523
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, this computer artwork provides a mesmerizing visual representation of the central nervous system (CNS) and its vital role in transmitting information throughout the body. Neurons are depicted as vibrant clusters with their distinct structures highlighted. The nerve cell body takes center stage, surrounded by an array of dendrites that serve 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 various cells including muscle fibers and other nerve cells. The complexity and interconnectedness of these neural networks are brought to life in this illustration. It serves as a testament to the remarkable capabilities of our biological systems and underscores the significance of neurology in understanding human health. With its emphasis on research, medicine, and biology, this artwork resonates with those passionate about unraveling the mysteries of our nervous system. Its portrayal evokes thoughts on neural communication, electrical impulses, synapses, and pyramidal cells within the cortex. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are reminded not only of our own intricate makeup but also how much there is still left to discover within ourselves.
