Nerve synapse, TEM
Nerve synapse. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the neuron (nerve) terminal at a synapse in the diaphragm. A synapse is a gap between a nerve and another cell (in this case, muscle) that allows the transmission of nerve impulses. A nerve ending in a terminal bouton (red) will contain vesicles (blue dots) of neurotransmitter chemicals. During the transmission of an impulse, the vesicles release the neurotransmitter into the gap, which is taken up by receptors on the other side. This leads to the formation of an impulse in the second cell, and so the information is passed on. When a muscle cell is receiving an impulse, calcium is also released, which causes a muscle contraction

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve synapse, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image depicts the neuron terminal at a synapse in the diaphragm, where nerve impulses are transmitted between cells. In this case, the gap between the nerve and muscle cell allows for communication through neurotransmitter chemicals. The vibrant colors used to highlight different components of this microscopic world draw attention to key elements. The red hue represents the nerve ending found in a terminal bouton, while blue dots symbolize vesicles containing neurotransmitters. These vesicles play a crucial role during impulse transmission as they release their contents into the gap, which are then received by receptors on the other side. As information is passed on from one cell to another, calcium is also released when muscle cells receive an impulse. This calcium release triggers muscle contraction and further illustrates how complex and interconnected our biological systems truly are. This photograph not only provides insight into neurology and histology but also serves as a reminder of how remarkable our bodies' anatomical structures can be. It offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at nature's design while appreciating its functionality within our nervous system.
