Somatic peripheral nervous system
Peripheral nervous system. Computer artwork of the main nerves of the somatic part of the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system does not include the brain and spinal cord, which are part of the central nervous system (CNS). The somatic peripheral nerves are responsible for carrying signals about pain, sensation and muscle movements. The other part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic (not seen), unconsciously controls organ functions, such as heart rate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of nerves in the somatic peripheral nervous system. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a visual representation of the main nerves responsible for transmitting signals related to pain, sensation, and muscle movements throughout our body. The peripheral nervous system is distinct from the central nervous system as it does not include the brain and spinal cord. Instead, it encompasses all other nerve fibers that extend beyond these vital organs. While this image focuses on the somatic part of the peripheral nervous system, it is worth noting that there is another component called the autonomic system which controls organ functions unconsciously. Through this stunning illustration, we gain insight into how our bodies function at a neurological level. The complexity and precision of each nerve fiber highlight nature's remarkable design within us. This print serves as a reminder of our biological makeup and how essential these nerves are in maintaining bodily control. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment in science through their detailed artwork. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality found within our own anatomy while emphasizing its importance in understanding human biology.
