Nerve cells, artwork F007 / 5508
Computer artwork of nerve cells, also called neurons. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. The nerve cell comprises a nerve cell body surrounded by numerous extensions called dendrites, which collect information from other nerve cells or from sensory cells. Each neuron has one process called an axon through which information passes to other cells, including other nerve cells and muscle fibres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nerve cells, also known as neurons. Against a striking black background, the artwork titled F007 / 5508 takes us into the realm of the central nervous system (CNS), where these remarkable cells play a vital role in transmitting information. Neurons are like messengers within our bodies, responsible for relaying signals both within the CNS and to other parts of our anatomy. The image reveals a nerve cell body at its core, surrounded by an array of dendrites - extensions that collect information from other neurons or sensory cells. Each neuron possesses an axon, serving as a conduit through which information flows to various destinations such as other nerve cells or muscle fibers. This complex network forms the basis for neural communication and is essential for proper bodily function. The print not only highlights the biological intricacies but also serves as a testament to ongoing research and medical advancements in neurology. It symbolizes our ever-growing understanding of how electrical impulses travel through synapses and neural networks. With its fusion of artistry and scientific precision, this illustration invites contemplation on human health and well-being. It reminds us that beneath our skin lies an awe-inspiring world governed by these tiny yet powerful entities - nerve cells - shaping every aspect of our existence.
