Nerve cell, artwork F005 / 6919

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 showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve cell, also known as a neuron. Created through computer artwork, this image provides a close-up view of the complex structure responsible for transmitting information throughout our central nervous system (CNS) and beyond. At the center of attention lies the nerve cell body, surrounded by an array of dendrites extending in all directions. These dendrites serve as collectors, gathering vital information from other nerve cells or sensory cells. The neuron's axon takes center stage as it acts as the main conduit for passing on crucial messages to various cells within our body, including other neurons and muscle fibers. The vibrant blue background adds depth to this illustration while symbolizing the vastness and interconnectedness of our neural network. This artwork not only captures the essence of neurology but also represents a concept that is fundamental to human biology - how nerves fire and stimulate responses throughout our entire being. With its striking visual appeal and scientific significance, this print serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance found within every single nerve cell in our bodies. It invites us to marvel at nature's ingenuity while igniting curiosity about neurobiology and its profound impact on human life.
