Axon anatomy, diagram
Axon anatomy. Diagram of the anatomical structure of an axon, the main extension (dendrite) of a nerve cell. Cellular components include endoplasmic reticulum (green), neurotubules (white), vesicles (yellow), neurofilaments (red), the microtubular lattice (blue), cytosol (clear), and the surrounding membrane, the neurilemma (cylindrical)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of an axon, the primary extension or dendrite of a nerve cell. The image beautifully illustrates the internal structure and components that make up this vital part of our neurological system. In stunning detail, we can observe various cellular elements such as the endoplasmic reticulum depicted in vibrant green, neurotubules in striking white, vesicles shining bright yellow, and neurofilaments painted a bold red hue. The microtubular lattice is elegantly displayed in shades of blue while the cytosol appears crystal clear within this complex network. The axon's surrounding membrane known as neurilemma is represented here as a cylindrical shape, emphasizing its protective role for this crucial neural pathway. This extraordinary artwork not only captures the essence of axonal structure but also serves as a testament to human body biology and anatomical understanding. With its scientific precision and artistic flair, this illustration from Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the wonders of cell biology and explore one aspect of our intricate nervous system. It reminds us just how remarkable our bodies are at both microscopic and macroscopic levels. Whether you have an interest in neurology or simply appreciate captivating visual representations of biological structures, this print is sure to captivate your imagination without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
