Nerve cell
Nerve cell. Computer artwork of a nerve cell, also called a neuron. 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 (centre) 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 by Alfred Pasieka showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve cell, also known as a neuron. Set against a striking black background, this computer artwork highlights the complexity and importance of these cells in our body's functioning. Neurons play a crucial role in transmitting information throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and beyond. The nerve cell depicted here consists of a central nerve cell body surrounded by numerous dendrites, which act as extensions collecting information from other neurons or sensory cells. With its detailed structure and interconnectedness, this image symbolizes the incredible network within our bodies that enables communication between different parts. It represents the electrical pulses and energy that flow through our nervous system to ensure proper functioning. The illustration not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers insight into human anatomy and neurology. It provides viewers with a glimpse into the fascinating world of neuroscience and how these cells contribute to our overall well-being. Alfred Pasieka's biomedical illustration captures both the scientific essence and aesthetic appeal of this vital component of our bodies – reminding us once again of nature's remarkable design.
