Meninges, artwork
Meninges. Computer artwork showing the meninges surrounding the spinal cord. The meninges are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord. They consist of the outer layer: dura mater (green), middle layer: arachnoid mater (red), and inner layer: pia mater (blue). The primary function of the meninges, along with the cerebrospinal fluid, is to protect the central nervous system. The spinal cord itself contains neuronal white matter made up of sensory and motor neurons, surrounding the central butterfly-shaped grey matter made up of nerve cell bodies.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Meninges" showcases the intricate and vital structures that surround the spinal cord. The meninges, depicted in vibrant colors against a black background, consist of three layers: the outer dura mater (green), middle arachnoid mater (red), and inner pia mater (blue). These membranes play a crucial role in safeguarding the central nervous system alongside cerebrospinal fluid. The image reveals the complexity of the spinal cord itself, with its neuronal white matter composed of sensory and motor neurons encircling the central butterfly-shaped grey matter consisting of nerve cell bodies. Through this detailed illustration, we gain insight into how these components work together to facilitate proper neurological function. With its labeled diagram providing further clarity, this print serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in understanding human anatomy or studying neurology. It highlights not only the structural aspects but also emphasizes their protective nature within our body's framework. Created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, this artwork beautifully combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair. Its striking visual appeal makes it an ideal addition to any space dedicated to celebrating science and knowledge.
