Blood cells, artwork
Blood cells. Cut-away artwork of a blood vessel showing the blood cells inside. The majority of blood cells are erythrocytes (red blood cells), which carry oxygen to body tissues and carbon dioxide to the lungs. They have a biconcave surface, giving them a larger surface area for gaseous exchange. Also seen are white blood cells (3, round), part of the bodys immune system, and plasma (yellow), the fluid component of blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Blood Cells" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world within our blood vessels. The print showcases a cut-away view of a blood vessel, revealing the remarkable diversity of cells that flow through our circulatory system. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the abundance of erythrocytes, commonly known as red blood cells. These vital components play a crucial role in delivering life-sustaining oxygen to various tissues throughout our body and transporting carbon dioxide back to the lungs for elimination. Their unique biconcave shape provides an expanded surface area, optimizing efficient gaseous exchange. Amidst this vibrant sea of red, we also encounter white blood cells - guardians of our immune system. These spherical defenders stand out with their distinct appearance and serve as sentinels against invading pathogens or foreign substances that may threaten our well-being. Completing this artistic composition is plasma, depicted in a warm yellow hue. As the fluid component of blood, plasma acts as both a carrier and nurturer for these cellular inhabitants. It ensures their safe passage while facilitating essential chemical reactions and maintaining overall balance within our bodies. Through this thought-provoking illustration created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of the complexity inherent in human biology but also of its sheer beauty when viewed from such an artistic perspective.
