Fine Art Print : Brain nerve cells
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Brain nerve cells
Nerve cells in the brain. Artwork showing the different types of nerve cells in the grey matter of the brain. Neurons (yellow, for example at lower right) relay nerve signals around the brain. They are supported by astrocytes (red, centre left), which link to blood vessels (across top) and provide the neurons with nutrients such as glucose. They also provide structural support. The axons (output processes) of the neurons are protected in sheaths of the fatty substance myelin, which is provided by extensions of oligodendrocyte cells (dark red, centre). Microglia (small green cells) act as immune system cells, cleaning up debris and protecting the other cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate network of nerve cells in the grey matter of the brain. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring to life the complex world within our minds. At first glance, one can observe a variety of different cell types working harmoniously to support brain function. The yellow neurons, prominently displayed at the lower right corner, play a crucial role in transmitting nerve signals throughout the brain. They are like messengers, relaying information from one area to another. Surrounding them are astrocytes, depicted in striking red hues. These star-shaped cells not only connect with blood vessels across the top but also provide vital nutrients such as glucose to sustain and nourish neurons. Protecting these delicate nerve fibers are dark red oligodendrocyte cells which form sheaths made up of myelin—a fatty substance that acts as insulation for axons or output processes of neurons. In this bustling microcosm, small green microglia cells stand guard as immune system soldiers. Their duty involves cleaning up debris and safeguarding other essential cells from harm. Through this remarkable illustration, we gain a glimpse into the fascinating world of neurology and anatomy—the building blocks that make us who we are. It serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected our brains truly are and highlights their astounding complexity on both anatomical and physiological levels.
