Red blood cells in blood vessel, artwork

Red blood cells in blood vessel, computer artwork. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are biconcave, giving them a large surface area for gas exchange, and highly elastic, enabling them to pass through narrow capillary vessels. They have no nucleus, but their interior is packed with haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a red iron-containing pigment that enables these cells to carry oxygen to body tissues and to transport waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Red Blood Cells in Blood Vessel" beautifully captures the intricate world within our circulatory system. Created using computer technology, this print showcases the remarkable features of red blood cells (erythrocytes) that enable them to perform their vital functions. The biconcave shape of these cells provides a large surface area for efficient gas exchange. Their high elasticity allows them to navigate through narrow capillary vessels effortlessly. Although lacking a nucleus, the interior of these cells is densely packed with haemoglobin – a crimson iron-containing pigment responsible for their vibrant color. Intriguingly, it is haemoglobin that empowers these tiny warriors to transport oxygen from the lungs to every tissue in our body and carry waste carbon dioxide back to be expelled. This illustration vividly depicts how red blood cells tirelessly traverse our arterial network, ensuring optimal health and vitality. With its focus on cell biology and cytology, this artwork not only celebrates human biology but also highlights the importance of haematology in understanding our overall well-being. A testament to both artistry and scientific knowledge, this image by Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of the incredible complexity hidden within us all.
