Nervous Collection (#15)

Nerve cell, abstract artwork
Nerve cell. Abstract computer artwork of a nerve cell, or neuron. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body

Neurosphere culture. Fluorescent light microscope of a group of neural stem cells (neurosphere) in culture. The stem cells are differentiating into neurons (red) and nerve support cells (green)

Foetal neurons. Light micrograph of human foetal neurons (nerve cells). Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS)

Nerve cell growth. Fluorescent light micrograph of a PC12 cell following stimulation by nerve growth factor. The cell body contains the nucleus (green)

Cultured nerve cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cultured piece of spinal cord (centre). Each nerve cell (neuron) in the cord has an axon (long thin strand) growing from it

Cerebral cortex nerve cells

Purkinje nerve cell, SEM

Granule nerve cell, SEM
Granule nerve cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a granule nerve cell (yellow) from the cerebellum of the brain

Neurovascular bundle, TEM
Neurovascular bundle. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cross section through a neurovascular bundle (NVB)

Purkinje nerve cell

Purkinje nerve cells, SEM
Purkinje nerve cells. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two Purkinje nerve cells from the cerebellum of the brain. The cells comprise a flask-shaped cell body

Nerve fibre node, TEM
Nerve fibre node. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cross-section through a nerve fibre (axon) at a node of Ranvier

Nerve fibres, TEM
Nerve fibres. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through non- myelinated nerve fibres (blue). The fibres are arranged into bundles surrounded by the cytoplasm of Schwann

Nerve fibres. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of parallel myelinated nerve fibres in the spinal cord. Each fibre consists of a nerve cell axon, the output process of a nerve cell

Nerve fibre, SEM
Nerve fibres. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of nerve fibres (brown). A group of nerves such as this is known as a fasciculus

Coloured SEM of some nerve fibres
Nerve fibres. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of some nerve fibres. A group of nerves such as this is known as a fasciculus

False-colour SEM of a bundle of motor nerve fibres
Nerve fibres. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a bundle of motor nerve fibres (blue). The bundle as a whole is surrounded by a cylindrical sheath of connective tissue

Ilustration of an oligodendrocyte

Anxiety. Woman biting her fingernails. This is a common sign of nervousness or anxiety. It can also be a habitual activity

Nerve demyelination, TEM
Nerve demyelination. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a Schwann cell and a nerve fibre, showing the early collapse of its myelin sheath

Computer artwork of a multipolar nerve cell
Multipolar nerve cell. Computer artwork of a nerve cell (neurone). This multipolar nerve cell has a single long axon seen at lower right

Coloured SEM of a nerve cell in brain tissue
Nerve cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through grey matter in the brain, showing a nerve cell (neurone)

"Nervous: Exploring the Intricacies of our Chakras and Nervous System" Delving into the depths of our being, we uncover the intricate balance between chakras and nervous system. A mesmerizing glimpse into cerebellum tissue reveals the wonders of our brain's coordination center. Like a vigilant suricate on the lookout, our nervous system stands guard to protect us from harm. Transporting us back in time, "My First Sermon" by John Everett Millais captures the innocence and nervousness that accompany new experiences. At a synapse nerve junction, connections are made as electrical impulses travel through microscopic pathways. With a diagram showcasing the human brain and spinal column, we witness nature's masterpiece at work. The adorable pug embodies both excitement and nerves as it eagerly awaits its owner's return home. In an immunofluorescent light micrograph, neurons and astrocytes illuminate their vital role in transmitting information throughout our body. Zooming in with SEM technology, we marvel at the intricacy of a single nerve cell - a testament to life's complexity within us all. H. M Bateman's dentist cartoon humorously depicts cause and effect when nerves get tangled up during dental visits. Captured in studio lighting, a French Bulldog portrays vulnerability as it gazes with sad eyes - reminding us that even animals can feel anxious too. Bonus Caption: 12: As a novice driver grips onto the steering wheel tightly, nerves kick in while navigating unfamiliar roads - but every journey begins with courage.
