LM of epithelial cells from the human mouth
Cells of the mouth. Light micrograph of epithelial cells from the human mouth. Within each cell is the nucleus, appearing a raised dot. The epithelia are a diverse group of tissues that cover the entire external surface of the body and line all the hollow structures except blood and lymph vessels. These cells rest on a basement membrane which separates the epithelium from underlying connective tissue. Blood vessels do not extend beyond the basement layer, and epithelial cells are dependent on the diffusion of oxygen and metabolites from underlying tissue. Magnification: x50 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of epithelial cells found in the human mouth. Under the lens of a light microscope, these cells reveal their unique structure and function. Each cell is adorned with a distinct nucleus, resembling a raised dot at its core. Epithelial cells form an essential part of our body's defense system, as they cover the entire external surface and line various hollow structures except for blood and lymph vessels. In this image, they rest delicately on a basement membrane that acts as a protective barrier between the epithelium and underlying connective tissue. Interestingly, blood vessels do not extend beyond this basement layer. Instead, these remarkable cells rely on diffusion to obtain oxygen and vital nutrients from the surrounding tissues. This dependency highlights their crucial role in maintaining overall health. The magnification level used to capture this mesmerizing scene was x50 at 35mm size, allowing us to appreciate even the tiniest details within these oral epithelial cells. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the microscopic world that exists within our own bodies. This print serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance inherent in every aspect of human anatomy.
