This illustration depicts a section of nervous tissue, highlighting the complex network of neurons and astrocytes within the central nervous system. Neurons are characterized by their long, branching processes and distinctive nuclei, while astrocytes exhibit star-shaped processes extending outwards. The background predominantly features shades of blue and red. The illustration showcases features pertinent to neurobiology, cytology, and histology, aiding in the understanding of neuroanatomy and the relationship between different glial cells.
