Central nervous system, artwork
Central nervous system. Computer artwork showing the brain, cranial nerves and the top portion of the spinal cord. At centre is the pituitary gland (small, spherical), which secretes hormones. Either side of it are the optic nerves (yellow), with the olfactory nerves (yellow) above it. Beneath the pituitary gland is the brainstem, which controls automatic functions, sleep and arousal and relays messages from the brain to the spinal cord. The striped structure either side of the brainstem is the cerebellum, which controls muscle coordination and balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of the central nervous system. In this computer-generated illustration, we are presented with a detailed view of the brain, cranial nerves, and the upper part of the spinal cord. At its core lies the pituitary gland, a small spherical structure responsible for secreting essential hormones. Flanking it on either side are vibrant yellow optic nerves, while above them sit the olfactory nerves. Beneath this vital center is the brainstem, which governs automatic functions like sleep and arousal and acts as a messenger between the brain and spinal cord. The striped formations bordering each side of the brainstem represent none other than our cerebellum—a remarkable control center for muscle coordination and balance. This mesmerizing image not only highlights various components of our central nervous system but also emphasizes their crucial roles in maintaining overall health. From anterior to frontal perspectives, every detail has been meticulously crafted to provide an accurate representation of these anatomical wonders. As we delve into this visual masterpiece by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into how our biological framework operates harmoniously to ensure optimal functioning. It serves as a reminder that within us lies an extraordinary network that orchestrates countless processes necessary for our existence—truly showcasing nature's brilliance at its finest.
