Illustration of structure of human hepatocyte
Artwork illustrating the compact internal structure of a human hepatocyte, a liver cell. The cytoplasm of a hepatocyte is crowded with organelles; the density relects its numerous metabolic activities. These include the detoxification of waste products, the reclamation of old red blood cells, the sythesis and secretion of bile, blood plasma proteins and the storage of glycogen. Organelles visible include the rough endoplasmic reticulum (red) studded with ribosomes (blue, sites of protein synthesis). Various mitochondria, the sites of chemical energy synthesis, appear orange & kidney shaped

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate internal structure of a human hepatocyte, providing a glimpse into the bustling world within a liver cell. The cytoplasm of this hepatocyte is teeming with organelles, reflecting its numerous metabolic activities. This dynamic environment plays host to various essential functions that keep our bodies running smoothly. One can observe the presence of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in vibrant red hues, adorned with ribosomes depicted in striking blue. These ribosomes serve as sites for protein synthesis, highlighting their crucial role in cellular processes. Additionally, scattered throughout are mitochondria, appearing orange and kidney-shaped. These powerhouses are responsible for synthesizing chemical energy vital for cell function. The density and complexity showcased in this illustration emphasize the hepatocyte's multifaceted responsibilities within our body. Detoxifying waste products, reclaiming old red blood cells, synthesizing and secreting bile and blood plasma proteins are just some of its many tasks. Furthermore, it serves as a storage site for glycogen – an important source of energy. Through this visually stunning print from Science Photo Library's collection on human anatomy, we gain insight into the remarkable intricacies that underlie our physiological systems. It serves as a reminder of how even at microscopic levels, our bodies operate like well-oiled machines to maintain optimal health and functionality.
