Coloured SEM of a liver cell known as hepatocyte

Liver cell. Coloured scanning electronmicrograph of a single human liver cell also knownas hepatocyte. Hepatocytes have a polyhedralshape, having five to twelve sides, with adiameter of about 12 to 25 micrometers.Hepatocytes perform a multitude of functions: theysynthesise various plasma proteins includingalbumin and clotting factors, regulate the bloodlevel of amino acids and secrete bile whichcarries away waste products from the liver andhelps the breakdown of fats in the smallintestine. Bile is drained away in the bilecanaliculi (green) and is stored in the gall-bladder. Magnification: x1725 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a liver cell, scientifically known as hepatocyte. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope, this coloured image reveals the hepatocyte's polyhedral shape, with its five to twelve sides and a diameter ranging from 12 to 25 micrometers. Hepatocytes are remarkable cells that play a vital role in maintaining our overall health. They possess an array of functions crucial for our well-being: synthesizing essential plasma proteins like albumin and clotting factors, regulating amino acid levels in the blood, and secreting bile – which not only carries waste products away from the liver but also aids in breaking down fats within the small intestine. The mesmerizing green channels seen here represent bile canaliculi – tiny ducts responsible for draining bile away from hepatocytes. This precious fluid is then stored in the gallbladder until needed for digestion. With a magnification level of x1725 at 6x7cm size, this image captures every minute detail of this hepatic marvel. It serves as both an awe-inspiring visual testament to cellular complexity and an educational tool shedding light on one of our body's most industrious workforces.
