Nervous system
Nervous system. Computer artwork of the principle nerve pathways of the human body. The brain (top centre) and the spinal cord (down centre) comprise the central nervous system (CNS). Spinal nerves extend from the spinal cord to every part of the body, forming the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The main nerves of the arms are the median and ulnar nerves, and the main nerves of the legs are the femoral nerves. The PNS collects information from the body and relays it back to the CNS for processing, which sends out appropriate response signals to the PNS

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and complex network of the human nervous system. Created through computer artwork, it vividly illustrates the principle nerve pathways that connect various parts of our body to the central nervous system (CNS). At the core of this system lies the brain, positioned at the top center, while running down its center is the spinal cord. Together, they form the CNS. Extending from the spinal cord are numerous spinal nerves that reach every corner of our body, collectively forming what is known as the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS acts as a vast information collection hub, gathering data from different body parts and relaying it back to be processed by our CNS. Once analyzed and interpreted by our remarkable brain, appropriate response signals are sent out to instruct and guide actions within our PNS. The main nerves responsible for transmitting signals in our arms are identified as median and ulnar nerves. Similarly, femoral nerves take charge in facilitating communication between our legs and CNS. This comprehensive map provides an invaluable insight into how these vital neural pathways function together harmoniously. With its anatomical precision and neurologically accurate representation, this stunning illustration serves as a testament to both human biology's complexity and scientific artistry's capabilities. It offers viewers a glimpse into one of nature's most extraordinary creations –the incredible human nervous system.
