Cholecystokinin crystals

Cholecystokinin crystals, polarised light micrograph. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone responsible for promoting the digestion of fats and proteins. It is secreted in the duodenum (the uppermost and shortest part of the small intestine) and stimulates the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Cholecystokinin crystals, captured under polarised light microscopy. Cholecystokinin (CCK), a vital hormone in our body, plays a significant role in promoting the digestion of fats and proteins. Secreted within the duodenum, the uppermost part of the small intestine, CCK acts as a stimulant for releasing digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder. The mesmerizing crystalline structure depicted here represents an essential component of our biochemical processes involved in food digestion. Through this stunning image, we gain insight into the fascinating world of biochemistry and biology that governs our gut's functionality. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns showcased by these crystals remind us of their crucial role as hormonal stimulants within our endocrine system. This visual marvel serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, nature never ceases to amaze with its complexity and elegance. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into scientific wonders through this polarised light micrograph. As we delve deeper into understanding cholecystokinin's significance in maintaining healthy digestion pathways, let us appreciate both its biological importance and aesthetic allure encapsulated within this remarkable photograph.
