Jigsaw Puzzle : Red blood cell
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Red blood cell
Red blood cell. Computer artwork of a human red blood cell (erythrocyte). Red blood cells are biconcave, giving them a large surface area for gas exchange, and highly elastic, enabling them to pass through narrow capillary vessels. The nucleus and other organelles are lost as the cells mature. The cells interior is packed with haemoglobin, a red iron-containing pigment which has an oxygen- carrying capacity. The main function of red blood cells is to distribute oxygen to body tissues and to carry waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a red blood cell, captured through mesmerizing computer artwork. The image reveals the remarkable structure and functionality of these vital components within our bloodstream. The biconcave shape of the red blood cell is immediately apparent, providing it with an expansive surface area for efficient gas exchange. This unique design allows oxygen to be readily absorbed by the cells as they pass through narrow capillaries throughout the body. Additionally, their high elasticity enables them to navigate even the tiniest vessels effortlessly. As these cells mature, they lose their nucleus and other organelles, focusing solely on their crucial task of transporting oxygen to every tissue in our body. Packed within their interior is haemoglobin - a crimson-hued pigment containing iron that grants them their distinctive coloration. It is this very pigment that empowers red blood cells with their extraordinary capacity to carry life-sustaining oxygen. Undoubtedly, the primary role of these incredible cellular entities lies in distributing oxygen throughout our entire system while simultaneously collecting waste carbon dioxide for elimination via exhalation from our lungs. This awe-inspiring illustration serves as a testament to both human biology's complexity and its inherent elegance. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this scientific marvel in all its glory, allowing us to appreciate and marvel at one of nature's most essential creations – the red blood cell.
