Artwork of ER, golgi body, plasma membrane of cell
Illustration of membrane structures in a cell: endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. At top, the nucleus is seen with pores, & ribosomes (pink dots) on its surface. Continuous with the nuclear membrane is endoplasmic reticulum (ER, top left) which forms a network through the cytoplasm. ER transports glycoproteins to the golgi body (red, centre). Glycoproteins processed in the golgi body are formed into vesicles, which pass through the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane (lower frame). In this way the cell secretes sub- stances in a process whose instructions were originally given by the nucleus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of cellular structures, specifically highlighting the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), golgi body, and plasma membrane. The illustration provides a visual representation of these essential components within a cell. At the top of the image, we observe the nucleus with its distinct pores and ribosomes scattered across its surface like delicate pink dots. Connected to the nuclear membrane is the endoplasmic reticulum, which forms an extensive network throughout the cytoplasm. This ER plays a crucial role in transporting glycoproteins to another vital structure known as the golgi apparatus located at the center in striking red. Within this golgi body, glycoproteins undergo processing before being packaged into vesicles. These tiny sacs then traverse through the cytoplasm towards their final destination -the plasma membrane depicted in lower frame- where they are secreted by cells. It is fascinating how this entire process is orchestrated by instructions initially provided by our remarkable nucleus. This mesmerizing artwork not only captures our imagination but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in biology and cytology. By exploring concepts such as cell structure, ribosomes, membranes, and secretory pathways, it offers valuable insights into micro-biological processes that occur within living organisms. Courtesy of Science Photo Library's vast collection of scientific imagery, this photograph print beautifully encapsulates both artistry and scientific knowledge intertwined seamlessly together.
