Photographic Print : Artwork of a nerve synapse
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Artwork of a nerve synapse
Synapse. Illustration of a synapse, the junction between two nerve cells. The green structures in the terminal swelling (bouton) of the pre-synaptic cell are synaptic vesicles, which contain neurotransmitters. When the nerve signal reaches the synapse the vesicles burst through the cell membrane and release neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft, stimulating the adjacent cell. The folded pink structure is endoplasmic reticulum, studded on the right with ribosomes, where proteins are made. The grey bodies are energy- producing mitochondria, and the yellow fibres are microtubules

15"x10" (37.5x25cm) Poster
Discover the intricacies of the natural world with our Media Storehouse range of Photographic Prints. This captivating image showcases an illustration of a nerve synapse from Science Photo Library. Witness the complex connection between two nerve cells, where synaptic vesicles in the pre-synaptic cell's terminal swelling prepare to release neurotransmitters, bridging the gap and initiating the transmission of electrical signals. A stunning addition to any home or office, these high-quality prints bring the beauty and mystery of science right to your doorstep.
High-quality poster prints are available in a range of sizes and are printed on 270 gsm semi-glossy silk finish poster paper. An affordable option for decorating any space, they are perfect for fixing straight onto walls. To ensure your poster arrives in good condition, we roll and send them in strong mailing tubes.
Our Photo Prints are in a large range of sizes and are printed on Archival Quality Paper for excellent colour reproduction and longevity. They are ideal for framing (our Framed Prints use these) at a reasonable cost. Alternatives include cheaper Poster Prints and higher quality Fine Art Paper, the choice of which is largely dependant on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve synapse, the junction where two nerve cells meet. The image is filled with fascinating details that highlight the complexity and functionality of this crucial component of our nervous system. In the foreground, we see vibrant green structures within the terminal swelling of the pre-synaptic cell. These are synaptic vesicles, tiny sacs containing neurotransmitters that play a vital role in transmitting signals between neurons. As depicted, when a nerve signal reaches the synapse, these vesicles burst through the cell membrane to release neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft. This process stimulates and activates the adjacent cell. The folded pink structure visible in this artwork represents endoplasmic reticulum adorned with ribosomes on its right side. This is where proteins are synthesized within cells, highlighting another essential aspect of cellular function. Additionally, scattered throughout this mesmerizing illustration are grey bodies known as mitochondria - energy-producing powerhouses responsible for generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which fuels various cellular processes. Lastly, yellow fibers called microtubules can be observed traversing through this neural landscape. Microtubules provide structural support to cells and aid in transporting substances within them. Overall, this stunning print from Science Photo Library offers an artistic glimpse into one of nature's most remarkable creations – our own nervous system – reminding us once again of its incredible intricacy and awe-inspiring design.
