Artwork of human motor neuron (nerve cell)
Motor neuron. Illustration of a human motor neuron (nerve cell). The arrows show the direction of the nervous impulse, which enters the cell body (top left) through minute processes called dendrites. The impulse is then transmitted along the axon, which may be several metres long, at up to 430km per hour. The axon is enclosed in a myelin sheath (red) produced by Schwann cells (brown, nuclei represented by bulges). At the end of the axon the signal is transmitted to an effector organ, such as a muscle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of a human motor neuron, providing a glimpse into the complex workings of our nervous system. The image depicts a single nerve cell, with its various components highlighted in vibrant detail. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the cell body situated at the top left corner, where tiny dendrites extend outward like delicate branches. These dendrites serve as entry points for nervous impulses that initiate communication within the neuron. As we follow the direction indicated by arrows, we observe an astonishing journey taking place along the axon – a long and slender projection extending from the cell body. This remarkable pathway can stretch over several meters and transmit signals at an astounding speed of up to 430 kilometers per hour. The axon is enveloped in a striking red myelin sheath produced by Schwann cells represented in brown. This protective covering not only enhances signal conduction but also adds visual allure to this artistic representation. Finally, our gaze reaches the end of this mesmerizing structure where transmission occurs between this motor neuron and an effector organ such as muscle tissue. It is here that electrical signals are converted into physical action or response within our bodies. Through this extraordinary artwork, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate both the scientific marvels and aesthetic wonders found within our own anatomy - reminding us once again of nature's profound artistry hidden beneath our skin.
