Blood vessel and cells, computer artwork

Blood vessel and cells. Computer artwork of various blood cells and a blood vessel. The blood vessel consists of an outer layer of muscle (pink) surrounding an inner layer of epithelial tissue (transparent cells with black nuclei). Travelling through the lumen of the blood vessel are red blood cells, white blood cells (green) and platelets (blue). Red blood cells distribute oxygen to body tissues and carry waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs. White blood cells are part of the bodys immune system and fight invading pathogens. Platelets are blood cell fragments and are essential for blood clotting

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate network of blood vessels and cells within our bodies. The image depicts a blood vessel, composed of an outer layer of pink muscle surrounding an inner layer of transparent epithelial tissue with black nuclei. Traversing through the lumen, or central cavity, of the blood vessel are various types of cells crucial to our circulatory system. Red blood cells, responsible for distributing oxygen to body tissues and removing waste carbon dioxide, can be seen as vibrant red entities. Green-hued white blood cells stand out as defenders of our immune system, tirelessly battling against invading pathogens that threaten our well-being. Blue platelets, small fragments vital for clotting processes in case of injury or trauma, complete this dynamic scene. The complexity and interplay between these different cell types highlight the remarkable biological machinery at work within us. This illustration not only provides a glimpse into the structure and anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected every aspect of our human body is. Science Photo Library continues to amaze with their ability to capture such detailed imagery that both educates and fascinates viewers about the wonders found within ourselves.
