Fine Art Print : Liver capillary, SEM
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Liver capillary, SEM
Liver capillary. Coloured scanning electron micro- graph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through liver tissue showing a hepatic capillary, or sinusoid. Several red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) and two white blood cells (white) are seen in the sinusoid. Sinusoids receive blood from the intestines (through the hepatic portal vein) and from the heart (through the hepatic artery). These supply the liver cells (hepatocytes) with nutrients and oxygen respectively. The hepatocytes help to regulate fat and sugar levels in the blood. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a liver capillary, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The freeze-fractured section through the liver tissue reveals a hepatic capillary or sinusoid in stunning detail. In this mesmerizing image, we can observe several red blood cells (erythrocytes) and two white blood cells (leukocytes) gracefully navigating through the sinusoid. The liver plays a vital role in our body's overall health and well-being. Sinusoids like these receive blood from both the intestines, via the hepatic portal vein, and from the heart, through the hepatic artery. This dual supply ensures that hepatocytes, which are specialized liver cells responsible for regulating fat and sugar levels in our bloodstream, receive essential nutrients and oxygen. Magnified to an unknown scale, this colored SEM photograph offers us an up-close glimpse into one of nature's most remarkable creations – our own bodies. It highlights not only the complexity of human anatomy but also emphasizes how interconnected each component is within our biological system. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring image that combines artistry with scientific exploration. Through their lens, we gain access to microscopic wonders that deepen our understanding of life itself.
