Red blood cells, artwork C016 / 4627
Red blood cells, computer artwork. Red blood cells are biconcave, giving them a large surface area for gas exchange, and highly elastic, enabling them to pass through narrow capillary vessels. The nucleus and other organelles are lost as the cells mature. The cells interior is packed with haemoglobin, a red iron-containing pigment that has an oxygen-carrying capacity. The main function of red blood cells is to distribute oxygen to body tissues and to carry waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of red blood cells, as depicted in artwork C016 / 4627. Against a striking black background, these vital components of our circulatory system come to life. Red blood cells possess a unique biconcave shape, providing them with an expansive surface area for efficient gas exchange. Their remarkable elasticity allows them to navigate through narrow capillary vessels effortlessly. As these cells mature, they lose their nucleus and other organelles, focusing solely on their crucial role in oxygen transport. Packed within their interior is haemoglobin, a vibrant red iron-containing pigment responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. This illustration perfectly captures the abundance of this essential molecule within each cell. Functioning as nature's couriers, red blood cells play a pivotal role in distributing oxygen to all tissues while simultaneously collecting waste carbon dioxide and transporting it back to the lungs for elimination. They are truly indispensable contributors to our overall well-being. Through this stunning artwork by TIM VERNON from Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of biology and hematology. It serves as a reminder of how these tiny entities work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep us healthy and thriving.
