Glass Frame : Electron micrograph of blood capillaries in muscle
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Electron micrograph of blood capillaries in muscle
Blood capillaries. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of a network of blood capillaries from striated (skeletal) muscle. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body - barely wider than the blood cells that pass through them. Their thin walls consist of a single layer of endothelial cells that allows dissolved nutrients and oxygen to pass out into the surrounding tissue. In muscles blood capillaries are intimately associated with muscle cells, providing a variable flow of blood according to need. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of blood capillaries found in striated (skeletal) muscle. Colored scanning electron microscopy has beautifully captured the delicate nature of these tiny blood vessels, which are barely wider than the blood cells that flow through them. The thin walls of capillaries consist of a single layer of endothelial cells, allowing essential nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the surrounding tissue. In muscles, these blood capillaries play a vital role by closely interacting with muscle cells, ensuring an optimal supply of blood based on demand. This dynamic relationship allows for efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients during physical activity or exercise. The magnification used to capture this image remains unknown but serves as a reminder that even at such microscopic levels, our bodies exhibit incredible complexity. This photograph not only highlights the beauty within our anatomy but also emphasizes the importance of understanding how our bodies function at various scales. It reminds us that beneath our skin lies an intricate web connecting every part of us, working tirelessly to sustain life itself. Science Photo Library brings forth this stunning visual representation without any commercial intentions; instead, it aims to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the wonders hidden within our own human body.
