Nerve cell, artwork F005 / 6921
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. The artwork, titled F005 / 6921, provides a mesmerizing glimpse into the complex world of our central nervous system (CNS). Against a serene blue background, this close-up illustration highlights the key components that make up a nerve cell. At its core lies the nerve cell body, serving as the command center for information processing. Surrounding it are numerous dendrites, delicate extensions reaching out like branches to collect vital data from other nerve cells or sensory cells. These dendrites play an essential role in transmitting messages throughout our neural network. The concept depicted here is one of stimulation and firing within our nervous system. Each neuron possesses an axon - a single process through which information travels to communicate with other cells, including muscle fibers and neighboring neurons. This intricate web of connections forms synapses where impulses are transmitted between cells. Through this remarkable artwork by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain insight into neurology and human biology at its finest. It serves as a reminder of how these tiny building blocks work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure seamless communication within our bodies. Let this image ignite your curiosity about the wonders that lie within us all – hidden beneath layers of complexity yet fundamental to every aspect of our existence.
