Nerve cells, artwork F007 / 5530
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 visually stunning representation of the central nervous system (CNS) and its vital role in transmitting information throughout the body. Neurons are depicted as vibrant and dynamic entities, with each cell comprising a nerve cell body enveloped by numerous extensions called dendrites. These dendrites serve as collectors of information from other nerve cells or sensory cells, forming an extensive network within our neural architecture. The focal point of this artwork is the axon - a single process through which information travels to other cells, including muscle fibers and neighboring neurons. The firing and stimulating nature of these electrical impulses can be observed in their mesmerizing patterns across the image. With its emphasis on biology, research, medicine, and health-related topics, this illustration serves as a powerful tool for understanding neurology and neurological disorders. It highlights the significance of neural communication in maintaining optimal bodily functions while showcasing pyramidal cells found within the cerebral cortex. As we delve into this visual masterpiece created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain insight into how these intricate structures contribute to our overall well-being. This thought-provoking artwork not only celebrates scientific discovery but also reminds us of the complexity that lies beneath our skin's surface.
