Framed Print : Nerve synapse
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Nerve synapse
Synapse. Illustration of a synaptic knob (at left), the junction between two nerve cells. When an electrical impulse reaches the synapse, vesicles (round blue shapes, lower left) burst through the cell membrane (exocytosis). They then release chemicals called neurotransmitters (red spheres). These cross the synaptic cleft, the gap between the two cells. When they reach the receptor cell they will bind to the cell. There they will trigger an electrical impulse in the receptor cell. Information is transmitted along the nervous system in this manner. The green, cigar-shaped structures are mitochondria, the sites of energy production within the cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate workings of a nerve synapse, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of our nervous system. At first glance, one is drawn to the synaptic knob on the left, which represents the crucial junction between two nerve cells. It is here that an extraordinary process unfolds when an electrical impulse reaches this point. The burst of round blue vesicles breaking through the cell membrane captures a moment of exocytosis - these tiny structures hold neurotransmitters within them. As they are released into their surroundings, represented by red spheres crossing the synaptic cleft, they embark on a vital mission to transmit information from one cell to another. The receptor cell eagerly awaits their arrival and upon binding with these neurotransmitters, it triggers an electrical impulse within itself. This remarkable chain reaction demonstrates how information travels along our nervous system in order for us to perceive and respond to stimuli. Amidst this complex network lies another key player: mitochondria depicted as green cigar-shaped structures. These powerhouses tirelessly produce energy within each cell, ensuring its proper functioning. Through this stunning artwork captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the beauty and intricacy of our own anatomy. It serves as a reminder that every aspect of our human body holds wonders waiting to be discovered and understood.
