Nerve cells, artwork F007 / 5525
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 pristine white background, this computer artwork highlights the essential role these cells play in our central nervous system (CNS) and overall bodily functions. Neurons are responsible for transmitting vital information within the CNS and between the CNS and other parts of our body. The image reveals a nerve cell body at its core, enveloped by an array of dendrites that extend outward like delicate branches. These dendrites serve as conduits, gathering information from other nerve cells or sensory cells. Each neuron possesses a single axon, through which crucial signals pass to various types of cells including muscle fibers and other neurons. With its focus on neural communication and electrical impulses, this artwork resonates with fields such as biology, research, medicine, neurology, and neurobiology. It offers insights into how our complex nervous system operates while emphasizing the significance of these biological structures in maintaining optimal health. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY – renowned for their exceptional medical illustrations – this print captures both scientific accuracy and artistic elegance. Its depiction of pyramidal cells within the cerebral cortex exemplifies the complexity inherent in neural networks. As we admire this mesmerizing visual representation of nerve cells' interconnectedness and functionality, we gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders occurring within our own bodies every moment.
