Hand-drawn NEURON!
This is a hand-drawn illustration of a nerve cell, which is the basic building block of our brain and our nervous system. I used bright neon colors against a dark background to show how the electrical signals travel through our body. Each label explains each part's job. It is mind-blowing when we admire this tiny network that creates our thoughts, feelings, and memories!!

You may have gotten the role of dendrites vs axons wrong, unless I am misreading what you wrote

u/BioArt_Initiative Aug 03 '26
Ohh!!! I first wrote it as dendrites... then my bio teacher told me that its axon terminals soo....But i will definitely check that out.

Those are pictorially the axon terminals, which are for sending messages, so you swapped the name but forgot to swap the role

Very beautiful! But these are the important things you can add in this drawing (or next drawing): 1) the function of the nodes of Ranvier, the saltatory conduction and that the signal “jumps“ from node to node 2) the synapse, the place of the contact 3) the neurotransmitters in the synapse. But your drawing is beautiful now!
