Nerve synapse, computer artwork C017 / 3429

Nerve synapse. Conceptual computer artwork of a synapse between two nerve cells or neurons. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. Each nerve cell comprises a body surrounded by numerous extensions called dendrites. Dendrites collect information from other nerve cells or from sensory cells. Each neuron also has one process called an axon (segmented), which passes information to other nerve cells, or to effector cells such as muscle fibres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing computer artwork of a nerve synapse, providing us with an intriguing glimpse into the intricate world of our central nervous system. The concept behind this artwork revolves around the connection between two nerve cells or neurons, which play a vital role in transmitting information throughout our body. The image beautifully depicts the complexity and elegance of these neural connections. Each neuron is composed of a cell body surrounded by numerous dendrites, extensions that gather information from other nerve cells or sensory cells. Additionally, we can observe the segmented axon process responsible for relaying information to other nerve cells or even muscle fibers. As we delve deeper into this visual representation, it becomes evident that this artwork symbolizes communication and transmission within the human body. It serves as a reminder of how essential these neural pathways are in facilitating our bodily functions and allowing us to interact with our surroundings. Created by Tim Vernon from Science Photo Library, this illustration not only captures the biological essence but also sparks curiosity about neurology and anatomy. Its intricate details invite contemplation on the wonders hidden within our own bodies while showcasing the beauty found at microscopic levels.
